Useful Mantra...
"Start where you are... Use what you have... Do what you can."
A powerful person can leave home with nothing but the clothes on their back, pockets full of courage, creativity and commitment and can get anything they want...
I mean ANYTHING!
A powerful person doesn’t NEED cash to get things done.
They don't NEED to lean on their reputation or covet a reputation from others
They recognize “authority” as a nice card to have in their hand, but it’s NOT the only card.
And the irony...
A person with POWER often enjoys an abundance of resources, strong reputations and charisma.
They realize there’s nothing important they can REALLY lose.
They don’t NEED much.
Shelter from harsh weather
Food, water for sustenance.
And good health...
Their innate power to do more with less guarantees much more will be given.
Change excites powerful people.
Change frightens weak people regardless of how much money, reputation or status they have in the moment.
(I know... 'cause I've been there and seen it)
Powerful people are attached to NO-thing.
Weakness is attached to nearly everything.
And remember...
The game is not about external markers of business success or money (although it might seem like it).
The GAME is doing "seemingly" hard things...
...so we can grow into the full creative capacity of our souls.
