Step Into Your Power Now

Oct18

On The Pier

Have you ever had a conversation where you
Asked someone, “How’ve you been doing?”, and they reply,
“I’ve been well but I’m powerless. I’ve just never
Let myself have my power.”? Would you endeavor
To tell them that they’re wrong? Would you let it go by
Without challenge? Or is there nothing you would do?

Everyone owns their power. There’s no exception
But you can pinch it off somewhat. Never are you
Without power. You cannot be disconnected
Completely but your mood is greatly affected
By how much of your power that you’re letting through
 To your whole being. You control all that is done.

Those who think they are powerless want to connect
With others who believe that they’re powerless too
And they think they’ll gain power by organizing
But the one thing that they are not realizing
Is that the power they’ll have will have much to do
With all things mediocre in every respect.

And that’s not real power. Power is clarity.
Power is knowing, joy, and appreciation.
It’s the universal energy that creates
Worlds flowing through your fingertips. Freedom awaits
Those who know their true power. The new path begun
Is one which you may embark upon happily.

About Happiness

Just Plain Free

A professor one evening had a meeting for
Some of his former students to see how they were
Doing out in the real world. He wanted to see
How much they had succeeded at being happy.
Are they all living the life that they would prefer?
All about their lives now he wanted to know more.

They each told him their stories. “I’m not doing well.
I can’t get that promotion. The harder I try
To achieve what I’m after, the more I’m let down.
I get through my days typically with a frown.
Sometimes while I’m at work I could break down and cry.”
Not a single one had a good story to tell.

So the professor said, “You all seem to be stressed.”
He provided them coffee and several cups
To choose from. Some were plain and some were elegant.
What he said to them next was very important.
Knowing that stress has to do with mental hangups,
It was a bit of wisdom he clearly expressed.

“You all picked the nice looking cups leaving behind
The plain looking ones, but the cup gives no value
To the coffee it’s holding. You want the coffee –
Not the cup. If you want to be truly happy
Care about what’s of value. The more that you do
Then the more success and happiness you will find.”
