There comes a moment when survival is no longer enough.
When quiet endurance asks to be transformed into conviction.
Power does not arrive with noise or force—it rises when you decide you will no longer shrink, apologize, or wait for permission to become who you already are.
This is not about domination or control.
This is about standing in your God-given authority, rooted in truth, wisdom, and self-respect.
Words of Light
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” — Angela Davis
Reflection
Power begins with a decision.
Not a dramatic one.
Not a reckless one.
But a steady, internal shift where you recognize that continuing as you are is no longer faithful to who you’re becoming.
So often, we wait for circumstances to change before we step into our strength. We wait for validation, clarity, or ideal conditions. But empowerment doesn’t come from outside approval—it emerges when you honor your inner knowing and take responsibility for your life, your boundaries, and your voice.
Embracing your power means recognizing where you have been tolerating what drains you, diminishes you, or keeps you small. It means understanding that growth may require discomfort—but stagnation costs far more.
Power is not harsh.
It is honest.
It is grounded.
It is sacred.
Pause and Consider
Where have you been postponing a necessary decision?
What are you no longer willing to accept in your life, your relationships, or within yourself?
What would change if you trusted your strength instead of questioning it?
Sit with these questions gently. Power grows through awareness before it ever shows up as action.
Affirmation
I honor my strength and step fully into my power.
I trust my wisdom, my voice, and my capacity to choose what aligns with my becoming.
Peace,
Rita
