Your Presence is your power. Your presence is your attention - your heartfelt attention and focus. If your heart is not in it, if your heart is not one with you as attention, then you know your attention is ineffective, watered down, half-hearted and wavering.
Imagine your attention is the headlights of your car, if your heart is not in it, you could say they are on half beam. Or you could liken it to a close friend or one of your children listening to you while their focus is on their phone. They are hearing you but not really listening.
Whatever you give your heartfelt attention to, you give life to. Question is what are you giving life too? What are you mentally attending with all your heart? For your attention will always follow your heart. Rarely is it the other way round.
Your power is your heartfelt Presence. When your individual presence is in the present moment it is akin to holding a magnifying glass on a sunny day, while pointed at something. You have the power of not only your presence but the presence of the collective Presence.
Remember however this collective Presence cannot be abused by the ego for selfish or nefarious reasons, for one simple reason. The ego cannot exist in the present moment. Thinking is the absence of being.
The only way a personal sense of self aka Ego can exist is through the thinking mind which of course is not present when one is truly present, and you know this quite well. When you are lost in your thoughts while someone is speaking to you, they often notice and wave their hands trying to get your attention. They want you to attend them in the present moment.
This quote on the meme is quite literal. Your point of power IS in the present moment.
