“We can change the world if we change ourselves. We just need to get hold of the old patterns of thinking and dealing with things and start listening to our inner voices and trusting our own superpowers.”
-Nina Hagen

What’s your superpower? Spend some time with this question...
superpower /noun/:

Iyanla Vanzant's book, Acts of Faith, shares this perspective on the topic of power.
Nothing is ever as it seems. What looks bad today can be a blessing tomorrow.
Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we we are not equipped to handle now.
When we face our challenges with faith, prepared to learn, willing to make changes, and if necessary, to let go, we are demanding our power be returned.
“Power conceded nothing without a demand.”
-Frederick Douglass
