Power

Power has gotten a bad name because it has been misused, to the detriment of all. But it is important for an individual to feel powerful, at least in relation to his or her own life. One of the things that happens when you do the right thing is that you feel more powerful. The apparent enigma in that is that you give up trying to control other people. But you really are more powerful when you don't count on trying to control people and instead try to convince them and, if you cannot, go on without them, hoping that someday, if you are on the right path, they will come when they are ready. Then you can leave frustration and powerlessness behind.
