A truly powerful person is not someone without vulnerabilities, but one who has transformed those vulnerabilities into armor. When a person is no longer easily offended, tempted, or shaken, they possess a calm and profound magnetic field. That is not indifference, but clarity; not alienation, but composure. This "charming quality" actually stems from inner completeness and coherence. All external turmoil is merely the echo of the unresolved parts within us. You feel anxious, you hesitate, you are sensitive. It’s not the world that disturbs you, but rather the unilluminated corners of your heart, the parts that have not been honest. The awakened person has only one obligation: to find oneself and to stay true to oneself. This is not selfishness, but responsibility. Only by first becoming oneself can a person better become a parent, partner, friend, and a powerful existence in the world. May you also slowly recognize your own outline amidst the chaos; hear the voice of your heart beyond the noise. Standing firmly by your own side is the deepest tenderness and strength.
