Mantras For The Rest of Us

I need this reminder: to pay attention to my power.

Women are taught to apologize for any power they might possess and men are taught to get power at all costs. Where does that leave us?
Alone and at odds with each other and our true selves.
If I own my power! If I pay attention to it! If I acknowledge that I have it!
Maybe just maybe I’ll do less damage in the world and to the people around me. I won’t be denying it, pretending it doesn’t exist but instead living with it and trying not to abuse it.
