I often tell my students and clients that they have a responsibility to act out of love rather than fear not only for themselves but for people around them. The reason is very simple — if you are thestrongest mentally in any group you have a strong influence over othersnot because you have some hocus pocus power. But by the law of the Universe you become like a magnet for those weaker than you.
And you could say that you become like Simon in the game "Simon Says", remember that game?
When Simon says touch your head, you touch your head. When Simon says say hello, you say hello. Like in the game everyone does as Simon says. Why? Nobody wants to lose and everyone wants to win. This game appeals to 5 year olds. Why? Because you do not have to be intellectually mature to play this game, just the ability to listen and follow.
And you know what, most people have an ability to be mature intellectually but they prefer not to exercise this, they just rather listen and follow and do as they are told. Simon is evident everywhere — in the media, in school, in politics, in business and etc.
So if you are in a position of power and you are strong mentally, you by default have automatic power over others IF they maintain an attitude of 'tell me what to do Simon'.
This obviously can be a good thing or a bad thing.
It is a good thing if you are someone who comes from love, wisdom and you also empower others towards self mastery. But this can be disastrous if you share information only to keep people under your thumb for your personal gains.
So you do have a responsibility to always come from love rather than fear because there will be people around you who will make you their Simon.
