The Real Secret to Earth Shattering Power and Influence
Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi, John
Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Mother Teresa. A few
of the names you would no doubt be familiar with because
they were movers and shakers. Why is that? How did they
get to such a position?
We have all heard the phrase "God
helps those that help themselves." Some have taken
this to mean that to try things on your own elicits
support from invisible powers. Others use it as an excuse
to be selfish when called on to lend a hand.
It is good to help yourself, but that
is small potatoes to actually sublimating that ability
to the service of others. To go further and actually
turn that ideal into a mission, well, the invisible
powers evoked then are going to be ever more powerful,
and the greater the mission, the greater the powers
that will not be able to resist coming to your aid,
for you will be aiding humankind and the world.
That last sentence was a pretty big
one describing a pretty big plan, and the bigger the
goal, the bigger you become. It's just that simple a
concept, although the task you take on may be anything
but!
Do you want to be a Martin Luther King
or do you want to be a king? Mother Teresa did not necessarily
care about helping the extremely poor at first, but
she wanted to be like Jesus. He was the role model that
moved her to a life lived for others. A king or ruler
is also a servant to others.
Greatness is measured by the greatest
good to the greatest number of people. Aspire to help
others and you may spiral to lofty heights, especially
as regards to fame in the political arena if you do
not mind the possibility of getting assassinated as
did four of the five personalities mentioned in the
first sentence of this report. And even Mother Teresa's
role model did not escape this risk from rattled suppressives.
So there you have the secret of earth
shattering power and influence, with a warning that
there is a dark side.
That will not deter you though, because
you will be putting others before yourself. You will
be wielding great power through your convictions, tempered
by your humility. A force for balance, willing to endure
the strain of imbalance by focusing on an outcome of
making the world a better place, even if not in your
short lifetime.
That of course is what makes heroism
and martyrdom so big. You either risk or give up the
thing about you that is perishable, for a thing that
can live well beyond scant carnate years. This thing
so worth dying for is called Honor. Those who say you
cannot take anything with you when you go, know not
of it.
Honor can even be born in the middle
of disgrace. That happens after history comes around
to seeing that you were not only right, but had the
courage to stick to a better idea rather than giving
in to conformity. You will then have changed the world
and influenced generations and generations to come.
