We’re all told to be strong, but rarely told that we already are.
Like peace, most people are also searching for power outside. Sometimes they read an inspirational story or watch a motivational video, but they never sit quietly and look within themselves.
Every time you kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit, you proved it. You don’t need to find your power. You need to remember it. But real strength isn’t something you find.
It’s something you finally see in yourself.
Some days, you feel like you’re barely holding it together. You smile, but deep down, you’re exhausted. You question your purpose, your path, even your worth. And somewhere inside, there’s a quiet whisper: “Maybe I’m not doing enough or I am not capable of doing in life or I don’t have enough resources.”
But here’s the truth you need to hear today—
You Already Have the Powers You’re Looking For
Every human being has hidden superpowers. Not the kind you see in movies. Real ones..
- You have resilience—you’ve made it through heartbreak, failure, and hard days.
- You have discipline—you get up, show up, and keep going, even when it’s hard.
- You have focus—you solve problems, make decisions, and manage chaos.
- You have patience—you wait, you listen, you endure.
- You have compassion—you care, you give, you feel deeply.
These aren’t small things. These are strength in action.
The problem is: you’ve used them for so long, you don’t even recognize them anymore.
Ordinary People vs Extraordinary Power
Think of the single mother managing her job, her children, the bills, and still showing up with love.
Think of the student who fails but picks up the books again the next morning.
Think of the employee who quietly solves problems no one sees, without asking for credit.
These are not just moments.
These are examples of inner mastery—a concept the Bhagavad Gita speaks of beautifully.
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः ।
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्ते तात्मैव शत्रुवत् ॥
Meaning:
जिस व्यक्ति ने अपनी आत्मा (मन) को वश में कर लिया है, उसके लिए वही मन मित्र के समान है। लेकिन जिस व्यक्ति ने अपने मन को वश में नहीं किया है, उसके लिए वही मन शत्रु के समान है।
Use Your Power, Intentionally
The strength you use to get through hard days? You can use that same strength to build something beautiful.
Plan the special project for yourself. Change that habit. Chase that dream.
The Gita’s Chapter 2 (Sankhya Yoga) teaches us:
“Samatvam yoga ucyate” – Balance is yoga.
Balance your actions, your thoughts, your emotions—and you’ll discover true power. Don’t get distracted if you lack money, love, praise.
Start Here Are 4 Simple Ways to Use Your Inner Strength Daily
1. Wake up 20 minutes earlier and give 10 minutes to this – Use that quiet time to reflect, read, or set an intention for the day. No need to medidate but listen to your breath, listen to the sound by fan or the water coming from the tap. This will give power to your though that will increase your will power.
2. Say no without guilt – Protect your energy. That’s strength. Say no to anyone even if the thing is fine but you don’t like. Anything that is good but putting you last should be torn, should be thrown away without showing the anger to your loved ones.
3. Finish one thing you’ve been avoiding – Do one thing daily that you always avoid even if the thing is so tiny to notice.
4. Write down 1 things you did well today – When you start writing your achievements, you will build something in yoursef. You will stop looking strength outside. You’ll start seeing your strength, not just your flaws.
Se do leave the change you got in yourself and some of your power as comments.
Hope for the Power
