I forgot what I used to know:

-In order to have power, you need to have wisdom first.
-In order to have wisdom you need to have awareness first.
-There will always be a time when you have the awareness, but dont have either the wisdom nor the power.
That moment will be very painful, but it is an unavoidable part of the process. It is more painful than the moment before, when you where unaware of your powerlessnes.
-Remember not to dwell on the pain. The pain is not the wisdom.
-Do not stay long in the powerlessnes. If you do so, you are not achieving wisdom.
