On Tour with Prism Book Tours

The first thing you discover is that you are going to have to ask for help. When you’ve never asked for it before, that can be hard, but it would be far harder to fail. It is also hard to contemplate asking and having your request refused. The fear of rejection is always there, but then you work out, the worst that can happen is they say no, and that leaves you no worse off than you were before.

The second thing you discover is that you have to trust your instincts. You know you know things, but when you’re put into a situation where you need those instincts to survive, you stop taking them for granted, and use them properly.

You also discover that thanks is always appreciated. That respect and goodwill are never to be underestimated.

Then you discover that you have power, but just having power is not enough. You need to respect that power and use it carefully and sensibly.

On the heels of that, you discover that some might like to use your power for their own ends, and the seduction of that is tempting. But that ultimately, you have to take responsibility for your power yourself, and never let it be used by others.

You can now move on to discover that harnessing your power is not without its own issues. That the ability to be strong is nothing if you turn your strength against yourself. That you must be in harmony within to be powerful without.

You discover you can be ruthless and relentless if the stakes are high enough, and as long as you are fair and honest, that might actually be the best thing you could be.

Then you discover humility and patience. That as long as you can hold the end in sight, and that end is worth any risk or sacrifice, that you can be flexible and do things you do not want to do.

Once you have had a measure of success, you also have to make yourself vulnerable to those who you care about most, and show yourself with all your power before them. You have to trust that your dearest will be able to look on the new you, shining with strength, and love you all the more for it.

And finally, you will learn the help you received along the way was not only very useful, but that you could not have achieved your goals without it, and by acknowledging that, and taking steps to compensate those who helped you, you will become completely one with yourself, and your mantel of power will settle comfortably on your shoulders at last.
