"One of our people in the Native community said the difference between white people and Indians is that Indian people know they are oppressed but donâ€™t feel powerless. White people donâ€™t feel oppressed, but feel powerless. Deconstruct that disempowerment. Part of the mythology that theyâ€™ve been teaching you is that you have no power. Power is not brute force and money; power is in your spirit. Power is in your soul. It is what your ancestors, your old people gave you. Power is in the earth; it is in your relationship to the earth."

Once your life becomes charmed in such a way, whatever blocks you may have experienced in the past melt in the light of that inner energy pouring from your heart. From a businessman's point of view, this is beautiful, for everything you touch turns to gold. Further, it helps you to believe in yourself. In seeing worth all around, you make your every act an affirmation of your strength.”
