What It Means To Be Truly Powerful

True power is knowing who you are and standing in it—without shrinking, without puffing up. It is the steady presence of a father who does not demand respect but earns it. It is the humility to kneel, the strength to stand, and the wisdom to know when to do both. In this reflection, I share what it means to live with power and grace and lead with courage and humility. To raise children who are strong but not hardened, confident but not arrogant. To walk the path of true strength—one that does not cling does not grasp, but simply is. Because real power does not need to be proven. It needs to be lived.
