For some, this “self-study” may come easy,
and we may perhaps have already discovered and defined our personal power and
are now working on nurturing, developing, and reaping the benefits of our
priceless treasure that each one of us carries within us. Alas, for others, we may have had our moments
when we discovered our personal power, but because of who we grew up with, or
perhaps the people that we chose to surround ourselves with, or just merely our
everyday circumstances, these moments were obliterated and smashed to
smithereens, and now they lay within us fervently hoping they will be
rediscovered and reunited into the once shining jewel of our individual
personal power.
Each one of us has our own personal dreams,
and for whatever reason, there are just too many of us that are afraid to
realize our potential and terrified to pursue our dreams. Our dreams are the children of our potential
power. If we nurture these dreams
properly, then just like well-rounded and well raised children, they will
flourish into well-developed realities cemented into their firm and stable
foundations. It all begins with
wellness.
Sadly, it is very few of us that have been
able to live our lives enjoying the pursuit of our dreams while passionately engaging
our personal power to capture our dreams and make them into realities. A large majority of us have allowed others to
tarnish and destroy the sparkle of the dreams we had as young idealists. Years of negative input and feedback, along
with our struggles to keep afloat or even merely alive in some instance, have
buried the jewels of our personal power so deeply that we are absolutely
clueless that they even exist anymore.
They do.
Underneath every layer of anxiety; every
coating of reproach; every blockage of physical, mental, sexual, and verbal
abuse; every piece of garbage of low self-esteem; every particle of other
people’s venom of their treatment of you; every cringing memory of
self-destructive behavior; there lies the beautiful, warm, flawless diamond of
your personal power just waiting to be rediscovered, rescued, resuscitated,
nurtured, and developed.
We recognized our personal power when we
were young and naïve and did not recognize the harm that ourselves and others would
do or already did to us. Now it seems
that all we remember is the habits of survival that we developed and maintained
to keep afloat, to stop hurting, or both.
No. Think harder. Think deeper.
Remember when.
Remember when you were fearless, even if
that was when you were six years old.
Remember when you owned your own thoughts, your own self- esteem, your
own dreams, and yes, when you owned your own personal power. Now it is time to
harness all of those positive memories and rediscover your personal power.
How?
Every individual is unique and is created
that way by God. Regaining control of
yourself and rediscovering your personal power is going to take a process as
unique as you yourself are. However, the
steps that lead to that journey are easy.
You must discover you. Make time
for you and take time for you. Analyze
your time and for every single duty that you currently engage in to control how
others perceive you, then drop it from your agenda and instead make that your
own time to discover or rediscover yourself. Meditation is a suggestion but not a
requirement. Attaining the consciousness
of self-realization of exactly who you are as opposed to whom you have become
is required. Pass no judgments and give
no one the blame. At this point it does
not matter, and there is only one goal in mind and that is discovering the
fantastic, strong, intoxicating and invigorating power that you contain inside
of you.
Discover, capture, nurture, and develop
your personal power. No one can do it
for you. Rekindle the fire within
you. Do not worry about how long the
flame has been out. Just consider how long you will make it burn.
