July 4, 2006There’s a Vast Difference Between Being Powerless and Thinking I Am
It came up twice last week so I decided to include it. When Kat was feeling burned out, her coach told her to,
Think of a time when you felt powerful as a child.
She had a wonderful memory of a time at age three when she walked around the block and got home without getting caught. It was a wonderful feeling of power that she drew on last week.
Shelly told a psychologist,
I want to review my past and find all the places I demonstrated power.
The psychologist was astounded and said, “Whatever for? You were powerless.” Shelly replied,
There’s a vast difference between being powerless and thinking I was.
Shelly needed to see the power she had available to draw from facing the future. She needed to see the power she always had to overcome the idea she was powerless.
