From the moment you cease to think of yourself as separate from everyone and everything, you begin to boost your inner power. Yet, if you believe that weilding power over others is the key to expanding your soul, then you have been misguided. You gain power not by to setting yourself apart and boasting about who you are and what you've done. Instead, let your life speak for you. Rather than describe what you desire, choose to demonstrate by example.
Consider how you choose to learn or whether you desire to learn anything at all. Some people actually close themselves off from the world and decide they already know everything. Do you know anyone who believes they have no need to grow? What you see as desirable or undesirable gives you hints about their hopes and fears and how you can build on what you think you know. When will you decide to explore even some of your feelings? The teaching at your disposal is powerful. Take your own worries seriously and learn about them, for they are key to your joy.
