Source: JillWellington/PixabayIt’s been said that those who look outside themselves dream, but those who look inside themselves awaken. I believe it is from inside oneself that all personal power arises. The challenge is finding the formula to unlock that power. Sadly, it is a challenge at which most people fail. At the intersection of philosophy and science, you can find the secret to unleashing personal power and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Humans have lusted after immortality for as long as they have been alive. Once, alchemists sought to create the Philosopher's Stone that could be used to create the Elixir of Life; legends of various cultures mention searching for the Fountain of Youth. So far, the quest has been unsuccessful; we still die. Why? The more days that you have been alive, the more likely you are to die. This is true for you, your dog, the birds and the bees and flies and worms, and every living thing.

When I first began my healing process, I was still very deep in the denial that had allowed me to survive my environment. I spent years trying to make sense of years of dysfunction, manipulation, and distortion—things that never fully added up, but that I had been forced to ignore or to find ways to explain away in order to survive. I had always coped by intellectualizing, minimizing, and excusing because, at the time, that felt safer.

Researchers prefer to discuss narcissistic traits, rather than labeling. Narcissistic traits include a need for admiration, grandiosity, and the absence of empathy. Pathological narcissism is linked with suicidal as well as homicidal ideation. The narcissism-aggression link is stronger under conditions of provocation. The term “narcissism” is met with mixed reactions, as it is used in a variety of contexts, from casual to clinical.

Have you ever hosted a dinner party where you did it all? I mean everything. You planned the menu, cooked every dish, greeted guests, refilled drinks, cleared plates, and did the dishes while everyone else was laughing around the table. You were there, technically, but you barely tasted the food. You certainly didn't enjoy the evening. Source: Lachlan Rennie/UnsplashNow, picture another evening. Same group, but this time you asked for help. One guest brought wine. Another handled appetizers.
