The Direction of Intention

Join me in inspiring truly powerful people. Each day I will add a new thought, story or idea to support your quest and mine.

Truly powerful people empower others because they respect them.

Respect is most often found in stillness.

To respect is to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone is capable of sorting things out for themselves; you don’t have their answers. When you respect someone you have no need of trying to control him or her or save them or make them see your way. You respect their seeing. You respect their choices. You do not intervene when they are experiencing the effects of their choices.

This kind of respect for others is only possible after you first offer it to yourself. Stillness comes from self-love. To choose and to own your choices, to respect your point of view, your ideas, your gifts, and your thoughts enough not to hide or blunt them. To offer without inhibition your self because you are beyond the debate of whether you are good enough. You’ve surrendered the madness of ‘perfect.’

Disrespect is loud – inside your head and on the outside, too. Disrespect needs to be heard.

Truly powerful people empower others because they respect themselves. They know the power of stillness.
