Be the

Thunder:

The Power

of Aligned

Presence

By Mamie-Jean Lamley

Inspired by the words of Satyen Raja

You don't have to shout to be powerful. You don't

have to prove your worth to take up space. You don't

have to overexplain, overwork, or overcompensate to

be a leader.

This world rewards noise, but it's not the noise that

transforms us. It's the energy behind it. Thunder

doesn't ask for permission to roar loud. It rolls in

because lightning already struck, and moves through

the ground, through the bones, through the room.

That's the power of aligned presence. It's not

something we see. It lands. It vibrates. It leaves no

doubt.

You don't become thunder by performing. You

become it by returning to the truth you've always

known, and letting that truth do the talking.

"When you walk in your worth, even

your silence becomes thunder."

- Satyen Raja
