“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."–Jimi Hendrix

Ahh…the Prophets: Jimi Hendrix—so bold as to write about love—and Huey Lewis—who shared his news about love—the power that makes the world go ‘round.

The love of power won’t keep you warm at night.  It won’t dry your tears when you’re sad, hold your hand, or comfort you.  If you’re a power-seeking workaholic clawing your way to the top, ask yourself how excited your desk is to see you on Monday morning.  Power won’t greet you at the door with a big hug at the end of a tough day.

It will never say on your gravestone, “Here lies ________ (your name here).  S/he worked 60 hours a week.”  It may say, however, “Here lies________ (repeat), who was a wonderful son or daughter, brother or sister, husband or wife, father or mother, or friend.  Your desk won’t be at your funeral.  Just so you know.  While we need to make and spend money to live, we need to make and spend time to have a life worth living.

Ready to cancel your power trip?  People all over the world are now boarding the Love Train.  Join them!  In the words of Prophet Huey, “It don’t take money, don’t take fame, don’t need no credit card to ride this train.” Your money’s no good here.  Just so you know.

Feel the power?
