Know your power. Know your power.

If you want to be running for office or striving for some position in whatever field you're inβ€” If it's a competition for power in any way, you will be a target. Have you always known your power?

See, I never really thought about running for office. Never. Never thought about it. I mean, I'm a shy person, really. Yeah, you don't give off shy right now. That's the way I was before. I loved public service. I was taught that when we were children. We were all taught public service is a noble calling. Politics is a piece of that. Yeah.
