You Have No Power Over Me.....

Sarah: “Through dangers untold, and hardships unnumbered, I fought my way here to the castle, beyond the Goblin City, to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom is as great…you have no power over me.”
The above quote, taken from a David Bowie 80’s movie, about a goblin king (Bowie) who takes a child after his sister wishes him away….has stayed with me …. “you have no power over me” …. this is a quotation to live by. Take it to heart and make it your own….
Everyone has troubles in this world….the strong fight their way past it. The measure of character is in how one handles that battle. You can become bitter and angry, making fun of others beliefs or the way they choose to live their life, and in doing so you resort to becoming the very thing which hurt you. Or, you can choose to be better than that. You can choose to live your life as a beacon to others. A light that shines and becomes an example of what good character is.No one can make you angry, no one can make you mean. You feel anger because you feel powerless, and you're afraid. Fear is at the root of most evil that is done.
Some feed off a weaker soul to feel a sort of psuedo power. It is not real power. Real power comes from inside you and is the antithesis of psychic vampirism. I can't say I've even come close to the *real power* of which I speak. I have miles to go. But I'm yearning for it. I truly never want to hurt another soul again. My strength comes from my spirituality…..I know there is a Power, a Love that is greater than me, or any bully….
“My kingdom is just as great” Wow…do you see what that means? There is room for all of us…no ones opinion is greater than yours, or mine, or theirs. My life is just as important as anyone’s…and so is yours….But so is theirs. So we can share our feelings about our creeds, religions, our beliefs. But we can not make anyone share that belief. You can't cram it down someone's throat just because you believe it to be the true way to live.
A bully is a hurt soul. One who has chosen a path of self destruction…soul destruction……and is to be pitied…..
I watched this movie tonight “Labrynth” and enjoyed it for the light entertainment it is…..but when Sarah said her affirmation……I thought of my own troubles….my own fights….and was reminded again, of my own shortcomings….I know better…But I’m a long way from perfect & I fall into the very human trap of wanting to fight back.
If I get punched in the nose…I want to punch back….But with these words still fresh in my mind…I vow to get up again…..to fight my way through the goblin city…….and to the bully’s, the goblins in my life…… “you have no power over me” .
I have been talking to a friend who is on an amazing journey of self discovery…his power is almost a visable bright light……he has gone from a “victim” to fighting through the goblins and taking control….he is going to be an amazingly powerful soul who instead of being twisted by anger and bitterness, has retained an almost childlike beauty…..He is going to be a teacher and a guide……True power is in this man…”angelic” someone else close to me called him……..That’s his choice….that is character…. and that is power.
