YOU HAVE POWER
EPISODE #116
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
–Alice Walker, American author and Activist
In this week’s episode we’ll be:
- Highlighting 7 specific ways to invest in and improve you own personal power
- Talking about how to find your own personal power
- Creating and casting vision to see how you can use your personal power
Power is the faculty or capacity to act, the strength and potency to accomplish something. It is the vital energy to make choices and decisions. It also includes the capacity to overcome deeply embedded habits and to cultivate higher, more effective ones.
-Stephen R. Covey
IMPROVE YOUR PERSONAL POWER BY:
- Investing in healthy relationship choices
- Never neglecting yourself or your personal needs
- Focusing on possibilities instead of problems
- Continually investing in your self-development
- Knowing your priorities and manage your time accordingly
- Heightening your confidence and self-trust
- Knowing that you matter and the story you live out matters
Your power to choose can never be taken from you. It can be neglected and it can be ignored. But if used, it can make all the difference.
–Steve Goodier
The power of CHOICE is the greatest power we have been given!
DEVELOPING PERSONAL POWER THROUGH CHOICE:
- The power to choose your attitude.
- The power to choose to change a habit.
- The power to choose the focus of your attention.
- The power to choose to forgive others.
- The power to choose to love.
- The power to choose to do giant things with your life
- The power to choose to make a difference.
To create power is like a magnet, this is true because this creative power operates like a magnet. Give it a strong clear picture of what you want and this creative power starts to work magnetizing conditions about you — attracting to you things, resources, opportunities, circumstances and even the people you need, to help bring to pass in your outer life what you have pictured.
-Claude M. Bristol (1891-1951)
