Given the world today, it’s easy to feel powerless.
When you are in flow you are never powerless regardless of circumstances. Flow is always about success and, in a weird way, about having your own power while not turning it over to someone else. Feeling powerless is the result of flow blockages. When the dot com bust hit Silicon Valley hard everything seemed to be going wrong for me. I felt totally powerless over my circumstances. It wasn’t until I learned about flow that I was able to regain my power and effectively deal with any situation no matter how trying.
Being powerless is also a way of avoiding life/decisions, and this can be detrimental. If you go in to any given situation assuming that you have no control over it or are simply powerless to do anything about it, the results will be that way. You won’t be able to achieve anything, even that which you want to achieve. Others may take advantage of this weakness. The reality is you always have power through flow, even if it may not seem so at the time. Acting powerless can also trigger lots of other flow blockages such as fear, anxiety, resentment, and hatred — all of which will compound an already bad situation.
In a nutshell, you are always powerful, have always been powerful, and always will be!
