Could you put into words exactly what it is like to claim and apply your own power? Many struggle to describe this concept. Others have never really thought about it and have given away their future to an unknown destiny without having ever planned and orchestrated what they want to have happen in their own life. Personal power is all about taking full responsibility for your own life and the events in it.
For some the word power in itself has a negative connotation. Mainly down the fact that someone somewhere at sometime wielded unkind behaviour which they took to be power. For me, it is the realisation that anything is possible. The inner sense of knowing that all the resources you could ever need lie within you.
It is having utter belief, commitment and determined focus to make your dreams come true in an ecological manner. What do I mean by that I hear you ask, well having your dreams, goals and aspirations happen without harming anyone, or the environment around you.
Personal power is about dedication to excellence, making the most of each moment, being charismatic, energised and feeling totally alive. Make the most of any opportunity that may arise, spotting possibilities and acting on them to make your life even more fulfilled. It can be considered a multi-faceted idea. Imagine as you experience the rush of energy when you feel in control of your life. All the choices you make bring about your outcomes, so why not make them fantastic ones to propel you forwards in life.
Creating this self controlled motivation is the ability to know what goals you want to have happen, be able to set them and then achieve them. It is the ability to influence and persuade others for greater good.
Great power comes from being able to be an outstanding communicator, know when to speak up, when to listen and when to just stay quiet and present. Perfecting this essence encompasses enthusiasm, optimism and a sheer joy for your life.
When your energy levels rise, your sense of power does too. If you can be the cause of the things that occur in your life - be the master (or mistress!) of your own destiny - you have personal power. Just tap your inner resources of self-esteem, courage, persistence and confidence.
When you have that inner knowing that you can apply yourself to achieve what you want. It is personal power that brings you success and happiness and abundance.

Come closer and listen.
Once upon a time, a Chinese student was sitting with his master under an old crooked tree in the forest.
The student broke the silence and said to his master, "Master, this tree is very old and ugly. It is of no use. It can't be used for lumbering or to build a house or for any other purpose. It is useless – why don't we chop it down and plant a useful tree instead?"
The wise Chinese master smiled and said to his student, "Son, look around the forest. Do you see a tree of better shadow to protect people from the hot, sunny days, than this old tree?"
The student looked around, and with great surprise he said, "No, this tree does provide the best shadow."
The Chinese master smiled and said, "That is why this tree is here. You see it as useless only because you want to make something different out of it. Son, everything in this universe is here for a reason, and it is through that reason that its brilliance is fully expressed."
Here is an undisputed fact: Like that wonderful shade tree, you are unique.
You lose your personal power when you start trying to become a different person. If you are an introvert, you may try to change your essence and become a social butterfly just to please other people. If you excel at a certain sport, you may give it up just because someone told you that a college degree is much more important than being an athlete.
And that kind of drama can continuously pervade your life the drama of trying to live in the illusion that you would be a better person if you could only change who you really are. And in living that illusion, you lose your personal power.
You are what you are because that is how you were crafted to fulfill your purpose. When you overlook your uniqueness and the very reason for your existence, you lose your potential and you lose your personal power.
Take back your power, magnificent man! It is unlimited, and you can perform miracles with it. Just be yourself and listen to your heart.
The day you were born, your heart started playing a symphony, the most spectacular symphony ever heard. It is the symphony of your legacy, the symphony of your greatness.
Listen to it. Resonate with it. Dance to its rhythms. And unleash your greatness.
Your full personal power is hidden in your heart. It is only when you listen to that music and decide to be yourself that you can change the whole world, and discover that there are no limits to what you can achieve.
You will only reach your full potential and personal power through effortlessness, and by not resisting your own nature and uniqueness.
Be yourself and listen to your heart.
Just show the universe the resplendent beauty of who you truly are, and let your symphony play on!
