A thought on power

We draw power to ourselves by working our way into situations where we need it to move forward. I don’t mean this in the sense of getting yourself trapped and being blessed with a path out. The idea is more that we work our way toward challenges that are just outside our current grasp, and we are given the opportunity to transform to accommodate greater power. We earn more power by proving we are using the power already in our possession to its fullest extent.
