The term power does not have the most positive connotation based on historical context of corruption and abuse. But as people, we are capable of creating power that works for everyone, including ourselves. By understanding and embodying both power and love, we can exert our inner strength in an ethical way that is both elegant and effective.

The freedom we experience in life is often limited. To have freedom and responsibility differs throughout many environments and cultures. Depending on one's point of view, there exists a spectrum of ways for demonstrating a sense of responsibility. Through the Realization Process, we can recognize when both freedom and responsibility occur simultaneously.

Finding oneself does not happen immediately and takes a bit of time. Through self-honesty, we can act with greater self-awareness as we seek out opportunities in the world. We can address our struggles by facing them head-on and with kindness for ourselves.

Having good intentions can help us better understand others. Reflecting on what you cherish about a close person you may be having a conflict with can help you start building a better relationship with them. Acknowledging the person has their own struggles too can help us to maintain a respectful attitude and an open mind.

Many of us believe that creating a good life means that our life must have particular features. We accumulate objects of desire to try to fulfill us, yet it always leads to wanting more. Perhaps we need to shift our focus from acquisition of features to feeling the subtle quality that we want to experience and cultivate in our life.
