WHAT DESERVES YOUR STRENGTH?
Katyayani
Not everything needs all of you. Some things need your attention. Some need your patience. Some need your voice. Some need help. And some things do not need more of your energy at all. Katyayani does not ask us to spend strength everywhere. She asks us to notice where it belongs.
So if strength has a direction… how do I know which direction?
You look carefully.
At what?
At what truly needs you.
Akka thinks for a moment.
And not everything does.
No.
Direction without discernment can still become scattered. Katyayani’s story is not about using power constantly. It is about power gathered around what must be faced. That means asking: What needs my attention? What can wait? What needs a boundary? What needs help? What is simply asking me to let go? Knowing where not to place your strength can be part of strength too.
Not everything deserves all of your strength.
Being strong does not mean responding to everything. Sometimes strength means: choosing carefully where you place your energy.
What deserves your strength right now — and what does not?
