A Small Talk About Power

Self mastery is power over self: control of your emotions, your thoughts, your actions and your impulses. In A Small Talk About Power, Aukdom Ethnine calls it the greatest power, because once you have power over one, you have power over all. You earn power from your inner god, your inner king, each time you prove to yourself that you can do more. Picture the man pushing the boulder up the hill. It falls back, he pushes again, and on the try where he feels like giving up, it goes over. He has proven his greatest strength to himself: patience. The wall you keep hitting is your true test of power. Overcome it once, and the same thing can't conquer you again. Power comes in four kinds. Power over people is management, or owning a business: you hold people's lives in your hands, and you hear every gripe. With power over a market, your work becomes the standard others follow, even people who have never met you. With power over a skill, you set your own price and your own rules. Power over self comes last, and you need it to reach the other three. Power is easily lost if it isn't cultivated. Past the hill sits a valley. Give up there, and you lose everything it took to get over. Keep putting yourself through the challenging tasks, and measure your growth year by year: days fluctuate, and things compound over a year. To earn the power you seek, hold honor of self and grow in every part where you fall short. What is weak in you is a strength yet to be tapped. Aukdom Ethnine closes the talk with a blessing: "I hope you find power in your tears." You are not becoming. You are remembering. Enter The Sovereign Monastery (free): https://whop.com/aukdom-ethnine/
