Monday: My Way

Whether we recognize it or not, we all do life in our own way. Sometimes we give up recognition of our power to do this by blaming other people when things do not turn out the way we want. Sometimes we give up recognition of our power by blaming the government or other institution. Sometimes we give up recognition of our power by blaming God or spirit.

Just because we deny our power does not mean that we do not have power.

I have never understood why we fear being powerful. What do we have to gain by pretending that we are less than what we are? What is the game that we play with ourselves by denying our own divinity?

This question has puzzled me for years and it will probably continue to puzzle me as I watch people set into action events and behaviors that create pain and suffering. Some will say that they are angry but they rant and rave rather than acting to change situations. There is no situations where we do not have options as to how to act or respond yet we deny that we always have the power of choice.

How do we learn why we choose to dis-empower self? I am working on that one myself as I also will fall victim to my own games of perceiving me as powerless. If you have comments about this I would love for you to share them.

Why do you fear your own power?
