Power

"Resistance is a simple concept: power, unjust and immoral, is confronted and dismantled. The powerful are denied their right to hurt the less powerful. Domination is replaced by equity in a shift or substitution of institutions. That shift eventually forms new human relationships, both personally and across society."

"Some people believe that it isn’t so much power that is exchanged in TPE, as it is authority. The intrinsic difference between power and authority can best be explained thusly: If we were talking about a car, then power would be what was under the hood. Exercising that power would mean taking the car out for a spin. Having the authority to do so might involve a driver’s license, possessing the keys, or having the title and registration."

"There is the pain that made me cry, and then there is the strength that made me stop crying. So I am glad the pain camebecause without it I would not have discovered my strength."

"Often, our misunderstandings about love are born in disruptive family relationships, where someone was either one-up or one-down to an extreme. There is an appropriate and necessary difference in the balance of power between parents and young children, but in the best situations, there should be no power struggles by the time those children have become adults - just deep connection, trust, and respect between people who sincerely care about each other. In disruptive families, children are taught to remain one-up or one-down into adulthood. And this produces immature adults who either seek to dominate others (one-up) or who allow themselves to be dominated (one-down) in their relationships - one powerful and one needy, one enabling and one addicted, one decisive and one confused. In relationships with these people, manipulation abounds. Especially when they start to feel out of control."

"Relinquishing control to another person is like death: it’s only scary until it finally happens."

"There may be something going on in your life right now, that seems like a giant, so big that you think it's impossible to conquer. But, remember no matter how gigantic your problems may be, you have everything in you to overcome. You have the power to say to that mountain move, get out my way. Activate your faith, and watch it happen. The victory is yours!"

"Banning books is just another form of bullying. It's all about fear and an assumption of power. The key is to address the fear and deny the power."

"Wrong thinking will take your life the wrong way, channeling your thoughts to the right direction will cause you to soar in life."

"Always set your mind to think thoughts of victory even before the battle begins, this way you will experience limitless possibilities."

"Democrasy comes into grave danger when truth is no longer spoken to power."

"Choose your thoughts, carve them in your mind and fix your gaze on them always."

"Understanding is a power greater then knowledge."

"Thought is the mental imagery of what you want to do, have or achieve."

"You cannot be different from your thought!"

"Your life today and tomorrow is patterned alongside your thoughts. You are therefore advised to create good and wonderful thoughts today so they will deliver a beautiful tomorrow for you."

"Our thoughts create our lifestyle, if you live healthy, it means you think healthy thoughts and if you think unhealthy thoughts, it will reflect in your health and lifestyle too."

"Wrong thoughts pattern your life towards it for we live our thoughts."

"Kind and lovely thought originate from God while evil and revengeful thoughts are initiated by the devil."

"Live on your good thoughts and they will manifest outwardly."

"Learn to live from inside to outside, bring out those magnificent estates within you and live in them."
