Power itself is simply a word to describe attention, awareness, which embodies all things.
I focused more on sharing my gift and performing than worrying about it being a competition.
If I can help encourage or inspire someone out there who is struggling with some of the same or similar issues as myself, then I think it's worth talking about.
In regards to my artistry, I've learned the importance of being vulnerable.
My advice to anyone wanting to get into the music business, is always be ready to learn and remain humble.

Individuals understood in relational terms cannot be conceived as fully separate from their communities. Others in one's community may already be a part of the self. This conception of the person as overlapping in identity with others has normative implications for what constitutes the good of the individual and how that good relates to the good of others. One's relationship with others can form a part of one's good as an individual, such that one can have a compelling interest in the welfare of these others and in one's relationship with them.
