Ever felt powerless? Ever felt like you had absolutely no control over a situation in your life? I have and it’s an interesting place to be in. Because on one hand, it drives me crazy to feel like I have no control. But on the other hand, it’s comforting to know that there is a source greater than me that has the ultimate power.

When we are forced to accept situations that are out of our control, a lot of times, that brings us to a place of humility and reverence for the creator and regulator of the universe. It brings us back to a place of balance in our lives. The balance is, we are partners with The Universe, with God. We have free will, the power to choose how we respond to life, but the creator of the universe governs it all and has the ultimate ‘say so.’

Whenever you feel powerless, I want you to do two things. First, recognize that you are never powerless. You always have the power to choose how you respond to life; it is your right and your power. Second, recognize that there is a supreme power that is greater than all of us, and the sooner we bow down to it, the easier life will be. The paradox is that we are all both powerful, and powerless. Embrace the balance.  Embrace the paradox. –love, sj
