Believe

I not only know where I want to go but I have the confidence and the conviction to stick to my plan to get there. Boy, that is probably the greatest personal realization I will ever have. There are so many diversions in this world that can get you off track in the blink of an eye. It really takes focus to get to something better. I have never agreed with the adage, "knowledge is power", because I always felt it incomplete. I feel that it needs to be amended to read, "Knowledge, the courage to use it and the judgment to act at the right timing with the right amount of energy is power". I can know something inside and out but if I am unwilling or fearful to act on that knowledge, where is the power? And if I have mastered timing and control of my energy but lack the data or information with which to enact my plan again it is not power. Everyone wants to see in black and white reality. It is never that simple unless you're working with Oreo's. The fact that part of me wants things that are bad for me in the long run but satiating in the moment is testimony to this reasoning. The desire is there and it would probably feel real good, right now, but how would it affect the direction of my long term objectives. They are both truths but when looked at in the big picture perspective one truth must take priority. How will you use your power? Will you rage like a tyrant or get as peaceful and protective as a sheepdog? Will you throw your power around like a cyclone or be as focused as a needlepoint? And will you learn and abide by all the effects of your actions or will you live simply in the overflowing moment?
