Gratitude 37 … Weakness
Today I am grateful for “weakness” — though not the typical “powerlessness” or “timidity” we have been taught to shun. You see, for me, true Weakness has nothing to do with how much force I can exert upon situations, and everything to do with how much Power I have to harmonize with them. For me, true Weakness has nothing to do with being helpless against the world’s “villains”, and everything to do with having the Power to choose to Care for them despite their “evil” — and thereby conquer the same.
For me, real Weakness is not being defeated by my enemies, but rather is realizing my true Power when I choose to forgive them …
For me, true Weakness is not “being used” by others, but rather is rediscovering my true Power when I choose to willingly give everything …
For me, true Weakness is not being isolated or alone, but rather is uncovering my true Power whenever I re-member that I am never alone …
For me, true Weakness is not lacking a religious faith, but rather is finding my true Power anew whenever I allow my Faith to shine through my deeds …
For me, true Weakness is not merely taking small steps towards a someday goal, but rather is the enlivenment of my true Power whenever I choose to get up and move forward at all …
For me, true Weakness is not being “too young”, but rather is remembering my true Power whenever I embody the pure Love of my internal child …
For me, true Weakness is not being “too old”, but rather is recalling my true Power whenever I enliven the Kind Wisdom of my internal sage …
For me, true Weakness is not being a “quitter”, but rather is comprehending my true Power whenever I have the wherewithal to identify unreasonable hopes, stop “pushing the river”, let go of my own illusions of “better then”, & move on …
For me, true Weakness is not refusing to support war, but rather is reawakening to my true Power whenever I choose to become a champion for Peace …
For me, true Weakness is not being slow or immobile, but rather is regaining a sense of my true Power whenever I choose to remain strongly rooted in Where I Am …
For me, true Weakness is not being naive or “ignorant”, but rather is a renewed understanding of my true Power whenever I choose to See the miraculous mystery at the heart of everything deemed “familiar” or “normal” …
For me, true Weakness is not “giving in” to an annoying person, but rather is a reclaiming of my true Power whenever I willingly Give to them anyway …
For me, true Weakness is not being “too poor”, but rather is a restoration of my true Power whenever I purposefully revisualize my life as Wealthy …
For me, true Weakness is not being an “insignificant” lone facet of Humanity, but rather is reawakening to my true Power whenever I act as a potent portion of current within Humanity’s entire River …
For me, true Weakness is not being powerless in the face of the crashing “waves” of circumstance, but rather is a rejuvenation of my true Power whenever I choose to purposefully ride those waves wherever they will take me …
For me, true Weakness is not being injured or “fragile”, but rather is a reinvigoration of my true Power whenever I inspire others to acts of great gentleness …
In essence, we will all only know our own greatest Power when we have both the courage & the humility to let go of our desire to be “strong”, and have the courage to be boldly Weak.
And so it is that I climb to my proverbial mountaintop, take a deep breath filled with profound reverence, and let loose with a long & loud –
Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
