People have a funny relationship with “power.” The word sends a chill up and down my spine sometimes.
We want to feel powerful but we don’t want actual power.
In itself, power isn’t a four letter word. There certainly have been people who have let their ego take the wheel and created a form of power that is exploitive, extractive and abusive.
However, that is not the only form of power.
We have the ability to redefine power for ourselves, to mold it so it aligns with the change we want to create in the world.
