| Prompt: What makes me powerful? Write about this in your Blog entry today. ---------- I don't know what makes you powerful,  Megan  . You're the better judge of that. If you are asking the question about me, I don't know what makes me powerful either. If anything, it might be that I, just about always, get up from a fall or a nasty turn of events, brush off the mess, and go on. Even so, I'm not very sure if I feel powerful or not. "Annoyed" would be a better word for it. Talking about power, what often comes to my mind are images of authority, control, or perhaps even dominance. So to be fair, I'll stick with the authority idea. This feeling of authority or being in control is something nuanced and deeply personal. It might have something to do with inner strength. Inner strength, then, comes from competence and knowing what to do. In other words, people must know the purpose of their actions and be responsible for their meanings and influence. Mostly however, no one is 100% sure of what that right thing to do is, especially in sticky situations. In which case, making choices and not wavering has to be in the picture, also. Then, all of the above have something to do with resilience and emotional stability. If there is such thing as feeling powerful, it isn't the same as having power over others. It is something that arises from within a person, a person loaded with self-belief. Do I have that self-belief? I'm not too sure about that.  |
