To be human — like it or not — is to be endowed with power and influence.
What will you do with yours?
Will you use it to enhance the lives of others or feather your own nest?
May we all choose a path that empowers those who could do with respectful assistance and, for ourselves, know when enough is enough.
Will you over-power others or seek equality and mutuality in all your relationships and all your dealings?
May you and I seek only to love knowing that authentic love seeks to exercise power over no one.
Will you reduce your size and influence and consider yourself a victim so as not to feel responsible for the power that comes with your humanity?
May we develop our skills and giftings and take responsibility for the talents with which we have been endowed.
Will you relate to all as fellow humans on a journey toward fulfillment and meaningfulness, all of whom deserve respect and recognition?
May you and I develop willingness and the capacity to offer our highest regard for all, especially those who for whatever reason are unable to return anything to us at all,
Will you and I accumulate more and more assets and more and more symbols of wealth and success?
Rather, may we have the discernment to know when enough is enough.
