Everything about power :P
I realise that I'm already fairly well aligned with truth and love, but I'm the most unpowerful person in the world! And that the lack of focus or care about power has meant that none of the secondary principles derived from truth and love plus power are as strong as they could be as a result.
Also the chapter on money. I know I've argued a lot when the subject of money has been brought up in the past, but when I read the book something clicked in my head.
In a weird piece of coincidence, I was talking to my Dad about wanting to help people via counseling, and he said "You just want to be a martyr. You can't help anyone if you're poor and weak, and you'll just end up surrounding yourself with unhappy people."
This seemed pretty similar to what the book was saying about money and power. I still want to help people recover their lives and fulfill their potential after being damaged, and I still think that my compassion, ability to empathise, lack of prejudgement etc etc. are skills I need to build on rather than fight against, but I need to consider myself and my own needs in relation to that.
Because I know I'm tired of being trapped by poverty/fear.
