In order to actualize our purpose to the fullest extent possible, we must first find the courage to claim our power. But so many of us fear our own power. We keep our power at a distance in hopes of conforming or fitting in with outside expectations, as a means of self-protection (blending in is the safest bet in a judgmental world), in order to maintain a sense of control, to attain outside approval, and so on. Some of us fear our power because we've come to associate "power" with its ego-driven, hierarchical, and opportunistic counterpart of force. In this episode, we explore the differences between power and force and examine ways we can reclaim our power in a steady, heart-centered way so that we can more fully actualize our purpose."When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in service of my vision, it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."Audre LordeSourcesHenry, T.
