in FOCUS \\ July '22 \\ POWER

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why."

Mark Twain


Everyone remembers the day they were born. Not through standard mnemonic constructs, but its image is in our brains, nonetheless. It is artificially planted in our memory by the many stories, the photos, the videos, the family recalls shared at the holiday dinner tables.

Induced like this from childhood, the memory of that day is our first tool on a quest for power. It is the first instance when we had that power and used it to break through into this world, to make that leap into somethingness, and here we are.

The second jolt of power comes with the assertions of self when a youthful teenager breaks away from parents and home and becomes a sponge of possibilities and adventure. The kind of power that this gives is un- censorable.

Many follow.

As you start on your winding path, it is really up to you where you put your focus, your energy, how much of what you do is actually for you, and how much for others. The more you live, the more power you can get if you avoid slaving yourself away to the will and needs of others or to the preconceived ideas of what could and should be done. Sharping yourself like a tool to carve the rock of the mountain when that mountain falls on your path does not only give you the force to brave through tough times but incites your mind and keeps it alert, challenged and fulfilled. That is the real power. The more you have, the more life you have left.
