Power is not about control

[es20490446e]

These are my thoughts about the following myTake: Are you afraid of the things you can't control in your own life?

I don't think life is about control, but adaptation.

It is not the universe that adapts to the individual, but the individual that figures out how to make use of what they have.

For instance a high quality individual is not who has the best circumstances, but when the circumstances get really ugly is capable of getting the best out of it.

And sometimes the best is not ideal, but it is good enough for the moment being. You can improve it later on.

I think that the real problem with people is that they don't settle, just temporally, for a lesser good. And instead they want everything now, they want evidence, or they start to break apart.

I like this take and where you’re headed in your mind.

Good thinking/talking/reflecting point.

I’d say power is not about controlling the external but controlling the internal.

Every time an outside force makes us feel threatened or unable to survive or function well it’s only an indicator of an area in us that we need to better control within ourselves.

People sometimes have blind spots. Self awareness and reflection help combat this and are the antonym to the blind spot.

This talk of indicators are like the resembling pain receptors we have on our physical body- a sensory message of pain indicates a part of our body is under a stressor and if it goes unattended it could break/ injure the body part or eventually eliminate the life within ourselves.

It’s why we have pain receptors. To be aware. To tend to those issues and in that case- Regain control over our immune system.

With life they present us stressors which indicate within us our emotions/ our psyche- not what we need to regain control of but obtain control over.

When we’re born we have no clue how strong or weak we are, nor that we are adaptable.

As we grow we fine tune this.

Power is attainable.

We are not metaphorically recharging us- we’re locating and being aware as to where the outlet is and accumulate this power which we’re very capable to do and have the capacity. We have the storage.

We have the resources.

Power will never be what we do to others. True power will be what and how we manage our entire body and lifestyle of a person. This human flesh we’ve been given to dwell in. It’s like a construction 🦺 tractor 🚜. The power is within and we have to learn how to operate it in a useful way.

That’s just my addition to this great idea you started. No hate on your claims. Wonderful and thought-provoking.

I appreciate this.

Others can disagree with me, as well.

Disagree, but do not argue. My statements are locked in and I will not change that. Lol

So true. I agree. The key to personal power is in making the best of a situation; sometimes standing courageously against adversity; not giving up.

Things we encounter can test us, teach us lessons and force us to adapt, even if, in the moment, we can't imagine any benefit.

True!

Not gonna lie; that was a pretty wise thing you just said.
