"The power of truth" or "the truth about power"

In my last psychological discussion about my personality it's been said: "Amina, you don't have a single idea, how powerful you are! You have lots and lots of power, but you don't use it, why not?"

I concerned myself in this statement. Me, powerful? What exactly is power? What does it mean? Power over what, whom, over others or even myself?
As per wikipedia "power is the ability of individuals or groups to decide (in the way they want) on other individuals' or groups' behavior and thoughts". That sounds great and YESSS... such a power I do really have in a way, not ostensibly authoritarian but profoundly subtle ...is that exactly the way it was meant? I already use this power... or is it about the power over myself? Power over my life, over my plans, the power to know who I am, what I am able to do and the knowledge that I can do everything I want! My truth to live ... what is truth? In my opinion, truth is my sensed experience. Truth has many facets, it lies in the eye of the beholder, anybody has his/her own truth, h/h own perception. My truth affects my life and my power. From this point of view I am the most powerful person in my truth-universe. Wow, a whole universe and I am the central point (the peak!!!). My universe.... but just my universe, individually seen unbelievable huge and still so diminutive centred on one person.
Everybody is powerful, everyone has the power over him/herself to complete h/h life's dream.

A gorgeous thought....... I love my life, live my truth and use my endless power in my all-embracing universe *lol*
