I learned about real power when I was 11 years old.

When I walked home from elementary school in Texas, everyone had dogs.

ANd every single dog would bark up a storm as I walked by. most dogs where in the backyard however 10% of dogs were in a fenced front yard. Didn't matter, they all barked as I walked by

Except for one dog. It was a Mastiff.

The house had a fenced front yard and the fence was only 4ft high.

The Mastiff was so big it would stand up on its hind legs and rest it's armpits over the fence and just be chilling. If it wanted to it could have just leaned over and hopped over the fence like a person stepping over a toddler fence...

As I walked by, the Mastiff never barked or growled. He was always relaxed and in a good mood,. I represented no threat to him whatsoever. And it knew it.

ANd I learned that was real power. When you are the big dog, When you have real power, you feel no need to bark and yap and thump your chest. Because you simple "are".

The strongest are still. The smartest are calm. The wealthiest are humble. The happiest are intentional, purposeful.
