There is no freedom without the exercise of true power. Power is about saying “Yes” and is the antithesis of force.
Force is about resistance, the push against. Power is forward moving energy. Force is reactive, power, proactive.
In turn, there is no power, no freedom, without responsibility. One can not live within the framework of a victim mentality and be free. There is no room for blame in the home of freedom. One cannot be free without being responsible, responsible not only to the call of self, but to the truth that we are all connected in the web of humanness, in this place we call home.
What we do matters. What we think matters. What we intend matters. It matters big.
What do you say Yes to?
-C.D.
“Justice is never given; it is exacted, and the struggle must be continuous, for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing, evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship.”
-Philip Randolph
