Power vs Place

How often in life or even in a day do we feel that we have lost our power to a person, a circumstance or a situation? It seems that power is something that is easily lost as we feel we have lost control over something. When we lose our power the thing that took our power, or shall i say the situation we gave our power to, seems to be the center of our universe. Then we invite the mind in for play and the mind distorts, measures and judges and we are under its power as well. We end up feeling like a weak, rotten, lame person. We get into the the 'why Me's' and we feel that no one else could possibly be dealing with these types of things but us. We can literally become obsessive about what or whom we lost our power to and we scheme up ways to get our power back. It is all mind. It is all distortion. When I feel I have lost my power I remind myself that nothing has 'power' in my life unless I give it power. When I find that I have given something/someone power I remind myself that it is OK for every circumstance or person in my life to have a 'place' but not a power. That simple reminder changes my whole obsessive frequency. Everything has a place not a power. Anything that I have given power can simply be put back into its proper place in my thinking or in my emotional world. This thought gives access to a total shift in perception and emotional energy. Whatever you have lost your power to...get it back and let it have its place. If it has its place you can learn from it and look at it objectively instead of obsessively Good luck. It takes practice.
