Thinking About Thoughts: On Power
Where Is Your Power?
Your power is in the NOW. We touched on this briefly in the last post about living in the right now and staying awake. Eckhart Tolle provides his insight into his spiritual awakening and his journey to get there. One quote that I pulled out of the book is the following:
Power over others is weakness disguised as strength, true power is within and it is available to you now.
Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
What Is Taking Your Power?
There are so many things that can take our power away from us. These are our fears, our stresses, our anxieties about things that could happen or that have happened before. The truth is that right now, that is the only thing you need to worry about it, and it’s the only thing you have the power to control in this very moment. By thinking forward, or thinking back, all we do is project our fears or our heartaches into our current moments.
Recognizing The Power In The Now Is Freedom
You can eliminate your anxieties, your fears, and your stresses if you just accept your accountability to the NOW. You are in control of you in this very moment. Stop fretting over what could be, and focus on what is in your current existence. Handle your life now, take power from everything that has power over you now in your own mind, own your life and live your life your way. The power is yours, unless you give it to something or someone else. The power is within.
