IF I DON'T HAVE SOMETHING IN MY LIFE, IT IS BECAUSE I AM IN A POWER STRUGGLE
When there is something we think we want in our life, and we don't have, it is because we are in a fight with someone. Power struggle is just a way of holding ourself back because we are actually afraid of what we think we want. This power struggle is really a place where we are using this person to avoid the real issue, which is the fear beneath it. Letting go of the power struggle would allow us to have that something in our life.
Today, let go of the power struggle. It is not true anyhow. Sit down, and divide a sheet of paper into three columns. In the first column, list what it is you want in your life. For each item, ask yourself, "Who am I in power struggle with? Who am I fighting?" (The answers "myself" or "everyone" is a form of avoidance.) Whoever comes into your mind, write it in the next column beside the item. (It could be your parents, someone who is dead, your partner or God.) Now, would you rather have the power struggle, or all of these things you really want? In the third column next to each person, write down what the fear is that holds you back from what you want. Be willing to move through the fear, because as you do, you are opening yourself to have what you want in your life.
