For me, power is about where you move from and to, and how you deal with the challenges and resistance you encounter along the way. Do you let it weigh you down or do you insist on learning from it and using it constructively in your life? I have personally faced resistance several times in my life – the first time before I turned 1 year old, when I lost my biological mother, and most recently, when I lost my father. The resistance and challenges I have faced throughout my upbringing have left me insecure, but it has also made me stronger and more grateful for what was, is and will be. Behind the soft exterior hides a raw strength that is my power. I insist on finding meaning in the challenges I face and use my uncertainty as a drive to grow. I accept the uncertainty within me, but I refuse to let it stop me from taking action. On the contrary!
