Why do we give our power away?

Why do we give our power away?
If we give it away, we start looking for it from other places.
Part of living with clarity is holding yourself and seeing your power.
When we see who we are, we see our
God given talents & strengths.
Purpose.
Our authentic swing.
Essence.
There is an illumination, a force, when we hold this.

"There's a Hole in my Sidewalk"

This is one of my favorite poems right now, “There’s a Hole in my Sidewalk“, by Portia Nelson
Chapter 1.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost…
I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I cant believe I am in this same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in… its a habit.
But, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5.
I walk down another street
