in what ways are you powerful?

Question

be specific.explain.thanks.

Answer 1

I am a Crone. I live by my rules and my rules only. I have learned I can survive anything. I know what's important and give up the rest. I don't care what people think of me. I know that kindness and compassion are the most important things we can share with each other. I know that good health and a good night's sleep are the bases for a good life. I know that as long as you have someone who loves you, you can do anything. I know that we need each other to survive. I know that peace of mind is the only thing to keep fighting for, because if you have that, whatever you don't have doesn't matter, and if you don't have that, whatever you do have doesn't matter. I know what my heart and soul look like and how they got that way. I know exactly what I have learned on the journey so far.

All this is where my power comes from.

Answer 2

I march to the tune of my own drummer, which I owe to inner strength. In order for a person to be like that, they need loads of it. Most people are afraid of marching to their own drummer, especially when it means standing apart from the rest, which in this day and age, well any day and age that's something that's not easy to do; either you go with the rest of the crowd, or you don't. The things that you have to put up include having others galavanting round looking for suitable excuses on your behalf; another thing is they try and waylay you. I'm also an anti-feminist, don't believe in equality. Every once in a while (it's not only me, least I hope not) get it shoved in my face such things as "if you're an assertive woman you are a feminist." I'm assertive, not afraid to speak my mind, never was come to think of it. So, let me assure you it's not as easy as it looks.

Answer 3

Im very independant, I dont need to rely on a man or anyone else in life, I have an education and a good job, and I hava been through so much in life and really came out okay so far. My friends usually look to me for advice when drama arises. If you wanna call that powerful

Answer 4

in my early fourties my ex walked out on me and the three outta four kids still living at home....I hadn't worked in over 20 years. when I told him if he walked out he couldn't come back his parting shot was 'Oh, yeah? And what kind of job are you gonna get'...that was when I realized it was just another grand-stand emotional manipulation...but this time he was dragging the kids into it....
. so....
...within 4 weeks I had court ordered full custody/child support/maintenance and a new job. Maintenance was ordered for five years but it was dropped after 3 years 'cause I was bumped up to full time. I payed the bills,maintained a house (mortgage, etc.) did the yard work 'till my son was old enough to help, raised the remaining three kids, worked full time.
....and ended up making far more money than he did.
sold the home when I remarried for a tidy profit. divorced, met a wonderful guy ( the kids love him) and re-married.
So to answer your question, and my ex's...

..not only did I get a god job...I became financially, emotionally, mentally strong & independent...found I had a strength and determination I never knew I had...and that I didn't need a man to validate my worth as an individual....

I got more than a job...I got the life I deserved......Good Luck to you

Answer 5

I feel most powerful when I am expressing myself - either by the written or spoken word - but mostly, spoken. I have no fear of speaking in front of a crowd and, in fact, I feel incredibly comfortable and 'in charge' doing it.

I have great confidence in my ability to communicate, and recognizing that this is a weakness for many, it gives me even more confidence when in a confrontational situation with another or others. I feel I have a great advantage - hence, power.

Answer 6

Patience- I'm a stay at home mom w/ a highly demanding, hyper active child. I never loose my cool often and when I do I make sure that my son never sees it. I go outside and get a quick breather.
My Love- I do everything for my family to ensure their happiness even if that means I'm on the back burner. Their happiness is the most important

Answer 7

Interesting question.
Power?
What does that explicitly mean?
Does it mean that as an individual I have the resources to affect change?
Maybe I do, maybe I do not.
Power is intellect.
Power to many is money and corporations, but without intellect it means ziltch.
So am I powerful?
No.
Am ordinary.
But have that gift of language that transcends everything!

Answer 8

A great question, BTW. I know who I am. Therefore, I do not let any negativity into my life and in the lives of my loved ones. I am driven, intelligent, focused and a hard worker. I am impossible to ignore, and I know it. I also am fiercely independent in my thinking: I won't tolerate others telling me how to run my life. In short: I dream big and work hard, that is why I am able to live my dream. And that takes courage. I also am one of the most compassionate and loyal people you will ever meet ( my loved ones can attest to it ).

Answer 9

I know what I want.
I know what I need.
My drive to provide a stable and happy environment for my kids gives me the strength to always do my best.
I constantly analyze and rethink all the time (not regret -what's done is done -I mean current and future decisions)
I am open to change.

Answer 10

Courage- i find it easy to face fear and danger.
Optimistic- i cant help but to think that everything is gonna have a positive outcome.(it usually does).
Solutions- i can easily come up with an effective resolution or remedy
