Healing & Hope: Check out the below Artwork

 I came across the below artwork while researching and writing this Easter 2025.  Advocacy is an honorable career to pursue peacefully. As far as I know the below artwork is non-partisan. If you find differing information please let me know. That is a concern of any of my writings published or unpublished during this political time for I have not yet crossed the line from being an independent on principle - A.T. Yoda Brooks

To Have Power, But Not to Exercise it

To Have Power, But Not to Exercise it 



"The idiom "having power but using it quite" could be interpreted in a few ways, but it generally refers to someone who has influence or authority, but uses it sparingly or with restraint. It could also suggest a person who wields their power subtly or diplomatically, or perhaps even a person who is hesitant to use their power at all. [1, 2, 3, 4]


Here's a breakdown of the potential meanings: [1, 1, 2, 2, 5, 6]

  • Using power sparingly: This implies the person is mindful of the consequences of their actions and avoids overuse or abuse of their authority.

  • Using power subtly: This suggests the person employs their power in a way that is not overt or forceful, perhaps relying on manipulation or persuasion rather than direct orders.

  • Using power diplomatically: This implies the person is skilled at navigating complex situations and uses their power in a tactful and understanding manner.

  • Hesitancy to use power: This could mean the person is reluctant to exercise their authority, perhaps due to a fear of repercussions or a belief that power should be used only when necessary.


In essence, the phrase highlights the idea of power as a tool that can be wielded in various ways, and the person in question is choosing to use it with caution or in a restrained manner. [1, 2, 3]"

A Secret to Success: Power Napping

     I reviewed a report: news paper or in a magazine the details I do not recall which said a secret of successful leaders is too take power naps (naturally). Not sure where I found the original information on this but putting the advice out there in to the ether anyhow. It may help an emerging leader - and Leadership has nothing to do with gender. Lets move beyond this.....

    The caption below is not initially what had in mind however it is of the brother (Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) of the famous former American President J.F. Kennedy napping. Both brothers were respected during their "watch" of leadership. No further comment on that due to the political rhetoric of this era. Peace and love brothers and sisters.
