When do we feel power?

People vary on thing they are good at. It could be anything under the sun. Most of the time, people consider these as their assets or their strengths. This is the time they feel they have the power over something.

For me, I consider the things I usually do and I am most comfortable at as strengths as a person. Whenever I do these things, I feel like I can do something that others cannot. Although these things I am telling are not as rare as it is, it is very common, yet it still gives me the feeling of superiority.

There are two things I do that I consider I am good at. First is being a man of music. As a child, I got my interest into musical instruments. I started playing guitar when I was in grade 4. Unlike other people who needed to enroll themselves to guitar lesson classes, I learned how to play it through the guidance of my dad and the rest were self-taught. My mom always told me that I developed a skill really well n a short period of time, which is quite unusual. I remember my friends at that time that started learning how to play the guitar. They are really having trouble learning how to play the instruments. Due to its difficulty, some gave up. Others learned quite longer than I did. At that time, they envy me. I feel so good because they look up to me. Years went by and I developed my skill further. Access to the Internet gave me the privilege to learn new things in my craft. Then I noticed that most of the people who can play the guitar could also play piano. Again, I had this urge inside of me to learn how to play this new musical instrument. My mom got me a piano. Same as with the guitar, I learned how to play it by my self and it did not took long for me to do it. Since then, I started joining performances in my school and I received many accolades. From then, I realized that I am really a musically inclined person. For a time I wished I could learn how to play saxophone and drums. But due to time restriction brought by entering college, I was not able to find time to make it. Recently, my brothers, whom also have a very high interest with musical instrument and are also guitar and piano players, got themselves a ukulele.  And since it is quite similar to guitar playing, I was able to learn to play it as well.  Now, being able to play three musical instruments make me proud of myself. Knowing that others mat only have just learned one to two musical instruments, I am capable of playing three of a kind. This musical interest in me will never fade and I will continue to learn more instruments as much as I could.

The second thing I wanted to point out is relative to my physicality. My height has a big disparity that of the usual average Filipinos. I stand at five foot and 10 inches tall, which made me taller than many people around me. Back when I was in high school, I started playing for the school. And since I am one of the biggest players in my team, they appointed me as the captain. I would say that my height has been an asset for me, especially in playing my sport, basketball. Since I am already given this gift, I decided to do my best to excel. But when I entered college, I decided to focus on my studies than play for the school. Still, I still play during free time and whenever I am in my province with my friends.

These two things I do are considered as part of my life wherein I can say I engage power and superiority over others. I have also realized that one consider himself powerful to the things he has excelled through years of dedication and commitment. Being confident of who you are and being proud of your talents and strengths is when he is at his best.
