It's Not The Power of Something But The Power You Give It That's Something

The movie Penelope recently showed and they mentioned something like this using other words. It was used to describe her physical condition and her beliefs about it but it could also apply to our thoughts, beliefs, actions, and decisions especially about happiness and money.

Another way to look at it is to say "Is it controlling you or are you controlling it?" Are sickness, depression, economics, expectations, situations, personalities, or attitude controlling you or are you controlling it? You have to decide whether you are the king or queen of it or if it rules you as a subject to it.

Most people want to control their own lives and all these things that are a part of it. It is a choice that is made daily. You choose to react or respond, to make others more important or you more important, to do what your higher power wants or what others tell you that you should do. You might also need to assign the priorities that you have in your life and not let others tell you to make your choices according to their ranking for how can you make something that destroys you physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually important to you.

Another thing to think about is control. You can not tell others how to be, only try to influence them, but the true quality of a successful leader is to win the war even before it occurs to the enemy or it happens. According to Sun Tzu in his book The Art of War "To subdue the enemy without a fight is the acme of skill."

Move yourself to that higher level of learning and teach yourself to have control and the acme of skill for it.
