Stop seeking power

img_9759

We are taught to seek power, authority, to be in control, to rise to the top, to be in charge, to be tough, dominant, strong, be the boss.

Stop seeking that. The moment we want to control others we become weak and insecure.

Seek instead to lead, to inspire, to connect, to collaborate, to be cooperative, to compromise, to do things with others, to be inclusive, to be supportive.

Seek to be comfortable with ourselves and accept that worthiness does not come from control, we are all already worthy regardless of what we achieve.

Seek empathy, compassion, connection and vulnerability.

Why not be with others instead of controlling them?

Take the handbrake off

fullsizerender-50

We drive our lives like a car with the handbrake on, scared of going too fast, scared of letting go.

Release the handbrake, remove the shell of fear, break out and liberate yourself.

We all have allowed ourselves and others to impose fear on us, from the moment we are born we are told ‘don’t’.

We can reverse that slowly but surely by telling ourselves ‘do’.

Let your car of life roll down the hill freely without the handbrake on.

You might crash or you might steer yourself to the destination you want.

You’ll never know until you release the brake.
