True power isn’t defined by the ability to command other people, control resources or live in luxury. Those are superficial trappings associated with outward might in the material world. They can add to a sense of security, comfort and perhaps more freedom to choose. Real power, however, doesn’t concern outward success, wealth or strength. True power resides in the ability to effectively create the experience of life we desire. This self-actualization is the result of understanding that our mental environment creates our experience. Peace, love and happiness aren’t circumstantial, they all begin in the same place…

Within.
