- If your strength is wealth, you will be destroyed. If your strength lies in your friends, you will be at odds with them. If your strength is glory, you will be forgotten. If your power is in power, you will be overthrown. If your power is real, you will be lied to. If your strength lies in your loved ones, they will stay away.

- If your strength is wealth, you will be destroyed. If your strength lies in your friends, you will be at odds with them. If your strength is glory, you will be forgotten. If your power is in power, you will be overthrown. If your power is real, you will be lied to. If your strength lies in your loved ones, they will stay away.

- Why?

- Because your power is not in anything external, it is not in anything that can be changed. Your power is within you. Your power is eternal and unchanging. Some call it God, others call it love. Some say it is the Tao or way of all things. It doesn't matter what it's called. Anyone who has experienced it once will easily understand what power I am talking about. For those who have discovered it for themselves, even poverty is used as wealth, and enemies become friends, and lies become truth... you know why?

- Why?

- because the one who discovered the constancy in himself knows how to see the same constancy in everything else, without attaching much importance to the change. In light of this, everyone else forever ceases to be different to you. When you don't value change, it naturally gives way to constancy within you. You know, there's no power in the world that can crush it. Any power that is unable to crush the constant in you becomes your power. That's how this world works.

- But how to get tenure?

- The hardest thing is to understand that you don't have to acquire what was already in you since you were born. Just remember the constant. Carry in your heart his soft, warm and gentle power. And guess what?

- What?

- This heat is true happiness!
