If you base your power on things, should you lose those things, you lose your power. You’re in a really vulnerable place. But if you derive your power, and your self-worth, and your sense of self from who you are, your moral authority, your sense of creativity, your ability to love yourself, your knowledge of the fullness of the gifts that you were born into, if that’s where your identity comes from, then your world could fall apart and you still stay strong. So work on your maturity level, so you get to a place where it’s not about me, it’s about we. Work on your maturity, so you’re not deriving your strength in the world of external things, but you’re getting it from your internal character or your internal life. Do whatever it takes to build a life of such maturity where it’s not about your ego, but it’s about lifting the world,
