What Makes You Weak

Something we were withholding made us weak, until we found it was ourselves. – Robert Frost

One of the things that gets in the way of our strength is how we mask, deny, subjugate and otherwise dis-empower our true selves.

Our true self is a well-spring of power, and creativity, and industry and, most importantly, love.

Love for ourselves, our family and friends, for those we work with and pass by each day and for the Earth, and dare I say, the Universe.

This might sound grandiose, but only if you think you’re disconnected from everything.

(You’re not.)
