The Secret of True Power
All power of the human sprit is compared to the large and resolute things of this world. The majesty of the old oak, the grandeur of the mountains, the steadfastness of the massive rock, the defiant determination of the river, the set fortitude of the sun, and so on.
For you to have this power you must first and foremost be cultivate poise and compliance, you must be willing and able to stand alone. When every one else is swayed by passion or emotions you must be able to be calm and unmoved. You must be in control of your self or you will never be fit to command anything but contempt.
If you are not happy with your current situation you must work all the harder to change. You must diligently perform the tasks assigned to you, while keeping in mind that the better pay, the better job, and the better life are waiting for you; you must simply be ready for the opportunity when it arrives. By not paying attention to the small details of your work and your life, the big details and opportunities will pass you by for someone who is more willing to perform.
Whatever task you may have occasion to set yourself to, work on it with all your might. Use scrupulous attention to detail, for if you can not be trusted to accomplish the small and mundane, you will not be trusted with the large and important. Nevertheless, perform your duties to the best of your ability, even if your heart is not in it. This faithful attendance will lead to bigger and better things. Then when the new opportunity is presented to you; you will be able to step into your new role fully prepared for it.
Learn through constant practice to develop your talents and resources. Then when needed, you can concentrate them on a single point to get the desired results. Be always honest and truthful with your own self, stay brutally honest with yourself, for if you try to deceive your self you will cause your own failure and destruction.
The foolish waste their resources on idle gossip, needless frivolity, and wasteful excesses. Manage your resources and use them wisely to better your self and situation. Those who are hysterical, fearful and thoughtless will never prevail and will suffer the same fate as the shifting sand. There will be no trace of their efforts or existence. While the one who remains calm and thoughtful will gain power, and as you exercise your strength more power will be added to you.
Passion is not power, it is a drain and waste of power. Like the fearful thunderstorm that beats upon the rock, soon the storm passes but the rock remains. So it must be with you, remain steadfast with the faith that you are the holder of the true power, and that the storm of passion will waste itself without causing any effect on you.
If you do not have this power you may gain it, but you must start somewhere. Start by refraining from slander, complaining, idle talk, and gossip. These activities are the greatest drains of as well as waste of personal time and energy. Once you have taken this step you will find that you are led logically to the next step without any worry on your part.
