Power Within The Self

I've been really obsessed with this book name Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers. Thanks to a friend who sent me this book! As it's been a totally life changing book, I always have something to learn on each chapter. And one thing I'd like to share with you today.. from the book.. is about power. 💗

When it comes to fear, it's never been the fear that limits people from attaining the kind of life they long for.. but the way they hold their fear that does it. As there are two types of people. 1) who feel the fear and stop; 2) who feel the fear and do it anyway. Here we can see that fear has never been the problem. 

Next question, when other people are capable to hold their fear gracefully, why do some people don't? The answer relies on where they place their power. Regarding to Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway, people hold fear by two ways. The first one is by the state of pain, and the second one is by the state of power. These two are totally in reverse. When people choose to be on a pain state, they handle their fear with the feelings of helplessness, depression, and paralysis. Conversely, people who are on the power state hold their fear with choice, excitement, and power. The way you hold your fear is placed on where you put your power on. Is it on the pain state or on the power state? And I'm not talking about a power to control what's outside you. This has nothing to do with external influence, however this is talking utmost about power within the self. This means power over your perceptions of the world, power of how you react over situations in life, power to do what is necessary for your own self-growth, power to create joy and satisfaction in your life, power to act and power to love. 

No one is more unloving than a person who can't own his or her own power. As this kind of person only manipulate people around them to do things they want, makes high expectation for the rest of the world to fulfill their needs. Rather, a person with power within the self will feel content with themself and this result onto the ability to get yourself to do what you want to. Imagine if you don't have this power? You will totally be in a very vulnerable place to lose your peace.

In order to gain power over things in your life, you first need to have the awareness where you've been placing your power for times. Again, is it on the pain state or on the power state? When things do not go your way it's sure can make you anxious, this is one sign of fear, but how do you hold it? Do you feel helpless instead of taking action? This can speak a lot about where you've been placing your power when the ball is thrown.

Just.. be careful where you place your power, darling. If you've ever seen people who seems so grounded, then it's basically because they are in control of their life. It makes them soft-spoken, sweet, genuine, but reserved to their energies at the same time. To have control means to have power within yourself, this brings so much inner peace in which beautifully radiates outwardly. 😊

Hope this articles help you navigating your power compass again. Cheers!💫
