Real power does not come from money. Or fame. Or popularity.
You experience real power when you can say what you want to say and do what you want to do. Real power comes when you are unstoppable in the face of fear. And when you give up worrying about what people will think about what you say or what you do. Real power comes when you give up looking good in front of people and be completely free in your actions and your self- expression.
Real power is not a function of the size of your biceps or the fancy designation on your visiting card or the number of digits in your bank balance. Real power is a function of what goes on in your head.
