Very few people are able to access the personal power, which is the power to create the life you've always dreamed of and put it into action every day of you life so you realize your dreams. The process is fairly easy but you have to give up something to harness your personal power in your life to make things happen in a way changes your life forever. Here's the secret!
First, there is one think all people do that robs you of your personal power. We all run lots of negative thoughts in our head during every moment of every day. The average person has over 60,000 thoughts every day and this mind trash chokes out any possibility being truly powerful. These thought start from what others say to us (which may or may not be true, whole or in part) and then we embellish these stories with lots of our own add-on stories until we're chocking on negativity, helplessness, and fear. These feelings can rob us of our power and leave us feeling powerless and incapable of controlling our lives. In this state, possibility does not exist. Does this feel at all familiar to any of you?
So how do we break this cycle and regain our personal power. First, we have to become conscious of our negative thoughts and how they control us. You to work to begin noticing when you're having negative thoughts and then challenge their authenticity. For example, if you noticed yourself having a thought like "I'll never get a house of my own." or "I'm never going to get good grades or a great job.", then you can begin to explore the source of that negative thought (i.e. who said it to you or did something to trigger that initial negative thought) and what other negative thoughts you've added on the base negative thought. These negative thoughts are all STORIES that YOU made up and you can cancel them out. Just realize the STORIES are just that and their not real except in you unconscious mind. When you get them into your conscious mind and see them, your can STOP them in their tracks and CHOOSE NOT to let them control you that day and at that moment.
If you do this, are you free of your stories forever? Clearly not. They will come back just about every day and try to take you down again. Just remember that you can beat them every day using this same method and BINGO, you win that next day too, and the day after, etc. for as long as you actively practice this technique and stay in ACTION. If you do this, you will be able to live in the PRESENT all or most of the time and you'll be able to CHOOSE the e the path you follow rather than having your unconscious negative thoughts drive your life and ruin your happiness. If you do this and couple it with a STRONG POSITIVE BELIEF in whatever it is you want to do, you can achieve GREATNESS! It is what every human deserves if only we dare reach out and take it!!
