I&#8217;ve realized that even back from holidays, i wasn&#8217;t feeling ready to start to build all the projects i had in mind. All the courage i once had was now a mere memory, nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about where my courage could have been gone, how could i take back my power and go thru life with my head up. I went to the conclusion that over the last year, I&#8217;ve lost my power in many things that i thought would give me power and help solve my problems: books, therapy, and other helpers such as tarot cards, pendulum etc. I always have been a really curious person, and i still am, but i realize now that in all these things I&#8217;ve putted to much hopes, and all my self confidence.<\/p>\n<p>So now, i will still read, but less. I will continue therapy, but less. And for the tarot and my pendulum, they will also be of used, but less than before. I have to find balance in between my so called &#8220;spirituality&#8221; and my free will. Lots of things might help me on my way, but it is by myself that i will find my way. This means, finding back my own power (and my fears!) and use them to build my life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcturgeon.com\/blog\/images\/power_web.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.mcturgeon.com\/blog\/images\/power_web.html','popup','width=297,height=505,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"power_web\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mcturgeon.com\/blog\/images\/power_web-thumb.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"170\" border=\"0\"  \/><br \/>see the comic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This quote found her way to me this week, coincidence? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> * * * <\/p>\n<p>I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes<br \/>\nfrom within.
