Take the word “<b>power</b>” to start. What do you associate with it? Perhaps “<b>strength</b>”? Physical and mental <span style="font-weight: bold;">strength</span> we need every day; you know, to get things done. What about “<b>fortitude</b>”? Wow, this is a nice one! When do you need this expression of the idea of <b>power</b>? – Well, I’d suggest you need <b>fortitude</b> when your <b>strength</b> is being tested in a moment of great temptation, or when <b>strength</b> is required of you for a longer duration of time. We could also call that “<b>endurance</b>.” Though related, these words describe different aspects of <b>power.</b></span></span></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span lang="EN-US"> I know you possess all of these aspects of <b>power</b>, but do you use the words that describe them in your day to day life?
