Traditionally we associate power with the display of strength, winning, and having lots of money and prestige. I think we have power mixed up with the domination of others. It's time to redefine power. To have inner peace and spread that peace throughout the world, THAT is power.

About This Quote

The quote above is about the definition of power. What many people don’t realize is the word power actually has two different definitions. One meaning is power to do something, like win an election or break the sound barrier in the sky. The second meaning of power is more internal. To have inner peace and spread that peace throughout the world, THAT is power.
