You do not stop losing power by refusing to recognize your fear, by anesthetizing yourself to what you feel. The road to authentic power is always through what you feel through your heart.

A life free of fears, obsessions, compulsions, and addictions, without the insecurities others activates so easily and the torments they create in you.
