PERSONAL POWER
The deep root of failure in
our lives is to think, Oh how useless and powerless I am. It
is essential to think strongly and forcefully, I can do it,
without boasting or fretting.
-- Dalai Lama
Angeles
Arrien says that whether we are male or female, we need to
develop three kinds of power. People who hold these three powers
cannot be ignored.
1. Power
of presence Being really present in each moment
2. Power
of communication Speaking my truth
3. Power
of position Being willing to take a stand
When I dare to be powerful,
to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes
less and less important that I am afraid.
-- Audre Lourde
