How do you define power?

I am at my most powerful when I am fully present.
I am fully present when I accept full responsibility for who and where I am in this and every given moment.
Whenever I accept full responsibility for my life just as it is, there is no victim me...

This is one thing I have learned: that every time I blame someone else for where I am; every time I find myself saying I can't help it or It's not my fault; every time, I feel the power seeping out of me. And every time I remember myself, power comes back to me. It's as if when I'm being a victim, the creator me takes a back seat until the matter can settle itself. And when I remove the veil of victimhood from my eyes, the creator is right there, ready to take over again.


Power is me being my authentic Self, daring to be who I am.

Power is owning that I am the creator of me, even when I'd rather blame the way I turned out on someone or something else.

Power is letting go of control and manipulation as a way of managing my life---manhandling has a habit of getting in the way of things.

Power is stopping to listen and feel into a situation before taking action. And when I'm ready, power is setting something in motion, and then stepping back to let it happen.

And power is looking at the thing I created and seeing that it is good---it is what it is; and power is also realizing that if anything about my creation doesn't feel right now or at any other time, I can go in and change it. I am the artist.
