How to be Powerful?
Everyone of us are powerful. Some of us express it more than others. I’m not talking about having a power over others. That’s dominance, and not powerful at all. I’m talking about being powerful in making your dreams come true, inspiring others, leading a great life that you always wanted to have. Being powerful is to be true to yourself and others, no matter what. Some of us may argue: but I do not have resources, I have no luck, have too many responsibilities, etc., etc. I tell you this: outside circumstances has nothing to do with it. It is what inside of us that matters – our own thoughts, and following actions.
What prevents us from succeeding? What prevents us from being powerful?
Here are 3 main things:
1) We put ourselves in the box;
2) We let others to put us in the box;
3) combination of 1 and 2.
How do we do that? By limiting thoughts. Who we are? Do we really know? What are we really capable of? What those boxes consist of? – We usually limit ourselves of what we can and cannot do. We base our decisions usually on our past, on our fears, on our limitations of our mind – that’s what the boxes are made of. Or, likewise, we let others set for us what we can and cannot do. Our mind is made up of our own thoughts. If we set our mind up that we cannot accomplish something, for sure we will fail. Now, opposite is true. If we set our mind to find the way, sure enough we will think of a solution (outside the box) and we will find the way. Our mind is powerful. Our mind can come up with infinite possibilities if we only going to let it. We can think in multi-dimensional ways that we never thought of. The key is not let the box – the past, the fears, limitations- to get in the way. Other key is not to let other people to control your thoughts and actions and to be aware when that occurs. Sometimes, other people try to influence you not out of bad will. That’s just their way of being. Or, you trained them that way by being a person they think they know. You can always re-train them when you are aware of it.
There is always a solution for everything. To find it, you got to be powerful and think outside the box. Powerful Now consists of powerful thoughts and actions. How can you be powerful today, right now?
