Personal Power
Power for living is never found externally...it doesn't consist of the things one controls outwardly. This is an illusion of power and it can and does change with the varying circumstances of life.
For example, beauty fades, cars rust, houses deteroriate and relatives inherit. Many people believe that power comes from the things they control and manipulate. Nothing in this external world is permanent...everything is "slippery" and will one day slip away from you.
Real power only comes to us as we take responsibility for our lives. It comes when we stop playing the "victim" and "blame" game. You and you alone are responsible for your destiny.
When I working on my masters degree I had to face was called a professional assessment close to graduation. Completing this assessenment would make me a candidate for graduation. If I failed the assessment I could be made to stay in school longer.
Just before going in, a friend of mine told me, "Go in there and take charge." Taking charge became a metaphor for the way I choose to live my life. It was some of the best advice I ever received. I passed this advice on to my children and to those I coach. When you are willing to step up to the "plate" and take charge, there is no way for you to be a victim. Take charge of your life!
Power also comes as you give
to yourself. Many people see this as selfish. Let me ask you this question. If you don't give to yourself and take care of yourself then who will? How can you give to others if you have nothing to give because you've neglected nurturing yourself? So the act of self-nurture is truly one of enablement.
Power comes from being honest about what you truly want and need, in life, and not being afraid to ask for it. 100% of the time we won't get what we don't ask for. It's not wrong to ask for what you need physically or spiritually.
Power is also found in community. We come into this world alone and we leave it alone. But while we are here we can create interdependence. One of my favorite authors wrote that "it is easier to go through this life holding hands with others than to go it alone." Power comes from being a part of something bigger than yourself.
Stay open to giving and receiving love. It will sustain life and happiness.
Real power is always lived and comes from the inside out, not from the outside in.
