All power is within you, Swami Vivekananda

All power is within you: Whenever we find ourselves with reasons about why we can’t do something, we’ll need to think about this quote. There will be situations where we feel powerless and find ourselves in tough situations. But these situations pretend as if it is the end of the world. But there must be a way out. And all power required to find this way out is within us if we look deep enough.

Sometimes when we are in trouble, we are overcome by sadness. This sadness engulfs our mind making it impossible to think of something else. Creativity can only breed in a calm mind and when you think a solution is possible. It will demand that you think differently and you can’t do that while sulking about a problem.

All power is within you, you can do anything and everything

We’ve got to believe in something. It can be either that life is over and there’s no way out. This leaves us with the only choice of giving up and not doing anything. This may work in some situations, but doesn’t help if you want to be intent about finding solutions. Don’t look outside for any power to help you. If you need something, all the power that’s required is within you. You have to find a way or create the right environment to bring it outside.

And remember, people only help you when you can help yourself. You may get the sympathy of the world, but that’s useless. It will make you find a false sense of solace. But sympathy doesn’t give you a solution. Instead, face these problems head-on. Face the brutes as Vivekananda says and do it with strength. Weakness cannot find solutions, but strength can. If you find yourselves in doubt, remember this quote from Vivekananda – all power is within you.

“All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you.”

Vivekananda
