I cannot create authentic power in you. I can only create authentic power in myself. But, I cannot create it in myself without you.

Each solstice is a domain of experience unto itself. At the Summer Solstice, all is green and growing, potential coming into being, the miracle of manifestation painted large on the canvas of awareness. At the Winter Solstice, the wind is cold, trees are bare and all lies in stillness beneath blankets of snow.

A responsible choice is a choice that creates consequences that you are willing to assume responsibility for.

The only permanent and constructive changes you can make in the world are the changes that you make in yourself.

I cannot change you. I cannot change other people. So I have decided to put all of my energy where I have the most leverage , where I know I can make a difference. Instead of being upset that this world is not populated the way I want it to be populated, I have decided to become the citizen that I want the world to be populated with. That's how I create the vision.

Authentic power is the real deal. You can't inherit it, buy it, or win it. You also can't lose it. You don't need to build your body, reputation, wealth, or charisma to get it.

Can you be compassionate even to those who have no compassion? If so, there is no finer karma that you can create.
