We are far less powerful than we think and far more powerful than we realize; the space between the two ia a barren canyon.
It is within the smallest choices we make in each moment - which thought we entertain, which emotion we grasp onto for dear life, which one we let pass by like a cloud - that our power lies. And we have nothing but choices in this life and as such we are extremely powerful beings.
On the flip side, we struggle, we grasp, we cling, we orchestra symphonies of thought based on an underlying supposition that we have control of things and people outside of ourselves and through a cunning execution of our thought forms we can control everything in order to maintain the homeostasis that keeps us from coming face to face with the dreaded uncertainty - not knowing - being in the moment and not having a clue - the raw, unpolished edges of shame, fear, love, hope, happiness, sorrow, grief, sadness, the unknown, whatever it is.
The truth is we are simply not powerful enough to control to the extent that our fear would like us to.
If we could simply remember that the power we do have sits in our willingness to take responsibility for our choices we might be less inclined to attempt to control.
