Creating authentic power is continual Spring Cleaning. Painful emotions show you what prevents you from creating harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for Life. What appeared attractive and worth keeping in the dark and cold of the Winter becomes unnecessary in the Spring, and sometimes very unattractive. Which of your painful emotions, such as anger, jealousy, and resentment, now looks unattractive to you? What out-of-control behavior, such as over-eating, gambling, shopping, mindless sex, or internet pornography are candidates for disposal? The more you challenge them by not acting on them while you are experiencing them, the more you free yourself to create the life that is calling you – a life of more joy and less pain, more freedom and less limitation, more love and less fear – and the more you naturally begin to give the gifts that you were born to give.
