We are
the power of God within. We have the power to be and do what we want to
be. The power to control our thinking is
the highest gift mankind has been given.
I
remember the first time I said out loud that I would not ever let anyone have
power over me. I was walking along the
track at my junior high when my P.E. teacher yelled at me and my friend to
run. At age thirteen, I was skinny,
uncoordinated, and not in the least bit athletic. We had run for what seemed forever and the heat
and humidity of that day seemed overwhelming.
I believed in my heart that I could not run anymore. My teacher come up from behind us and instead
of encouraging us with positive reinforcement or urging us with empowering
words, she belittled us and continued to embarrass us. Something snapped in me and I just stopped
and I started walking. When I got to the
gate, I walked back to the gym and got dressed in my school clothes. I’m not sure I passed my physical fitness
test, nor did I care. It was a wonderful
feeling to say out loud to my friend never again. And I stuck to that the rest
of my life. What I did learn from the
experience is that power can be misused and only I can decide which way to use
it. I chose to use my power from my
heart.
Power
comes from within. I am not alone. I
know that power is a spiritual tool that leads me in an abundant life. We live with the truth that all power comes
from love.
“I use my power to
manifest the life I want.”
