I was wrong

I was wrong by thinking that to empower myself I had to control things and people. I was wrong by acting with anger, frustration and vulnerabilty when I wanted to manipulate others to do what I wanted. Frustrated I was because there was no real goal in my achievement, wether the manipulation was done or not there was always pain at the end.  When I used to manipualte things and people a sense of joy and excitement by the inmediate achievement of power would rush to my head, but then like any other drug it would leave me with a hungover.

If I just knew before (and keep on remembering every day) that the real power comes from controling myself, the mind, and never let go. If we could all remember that... we can make all the difference we want. 

Things and people are uncontrollable, for good or bad...
