Strength

Webster's definition of "strength" is "........ 1: the quality or state of being strong : capacity for exertion or endurance 2: power to resist force: solidity, toughness 3: power to resist attack : impregnability 4 a : legal, logical, or moral force b : a strong attribute or inherent asset..."

Webster's definition of "power" is much longer than strength which I find interesting "....1 a (1) ability to act or produce an effect (2) : the ability to get extra base hits (3) capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect b: legal or official authority, capacity, or right 2 a: possession of control, authority, or influence over others...."

"Power implies possession of ability to wield force, permissive authority, or substantial influence..."

The definition is quite long and I suggest you review it in its entirety. Because of that alone, I prefer to have strength. To me, strength offers to others, it does not wield force.

Some people believe that they have a need to be controlled, to be told what to do, and acquiesce to another to be in charge and make the decisions. I ask is it simply easier, is it that which is accustomed and have not experienced different, or........

Some people feel the need to be in power as they are uncertain of who they are without. There is no other paradigm to follow.

Power is granted, strength is acquired.

Simply an observation -- which is what "A Tidbit" is about.

Happy 4th of July -- RED, WHITE & BLUE

Red, White and Blue colors will be everywhere this weekend. The colors of the U.S. Flag, which can fly proudly itself -- yet what do you see, feel and understand when you look at it. By itself, it is fabric and a pattern. It is a symbol. That is what I'm thinking today. What do you see when you look at something, and can it be different than what you see? Typically that is what happens to inventions. Someone sees something different.

Recently, the big desk chair I was sitting in became awkward and too uncomfortable. Designed for a larger person, likely a man, it needed to be replaced. At my day job I saw a co-worker sitting on an exercise ball. She said it helped her back and offered good posture. What an idea. I rushed home inflated my blue exercise ball - and that is what I'm now sitting on rather than a large, black chair that took up space, was not inspiring, and collected dust.

I now sit and bounce do crunches and roll around in a different way. A friend, who recently hired a personal trainer, confirmed that it is also his suggestion. To get out of complacency and empower yourself by sitting on an exercise ball at your computer.

Happy July 4th Weekend!!!!!! I'm kayaking, picnicking, and watching fireworks from a rooftop this year. What are you doing?

A-Tidbit, continues to take a peak at things from a different angle and share what it sees. So glad so many comment and share what they see and experience. Each one helps another --
