You have the power to do anything.
Unlimited Power!

But power isn't your issue -- the issue is you haven't found a good reason to use it.
You haven't found a priority to change your status quo, so the status quo ALWAYS WINS.
Average Joe: I can't quit doomscrolling or playing video games.
Me: Oh, if I gave you a million dollars to quit for one month, cold turkey, would you quit?
Average Joe: Oh yea! Sign me up!
Me: So you DO have the power to quit, you just haven't found a good enough reason to do so.
Average Joe: I can't start a business.
Me: If you had to earn $1000 by next month, or be killed, would you find a way?
Average Joe: OMG, yes.
Me. So you DO have the power to do it, you just haven't found a good enough reason to do so.
In other words, the power IS within you.
You just refuse to access it because you don't have a strong enough reason to access it.
Find a purpose strong enough to unleash your power, or waffle in the excuses.
