As with so many others, you’ve likely been experiencing the disconnect between accomplishment and authenticity for some time. To ease this burden, you may have read self-help books, taken on-line courses, attended workshops, or spoken with a trusted colleague or credible counsellor. Being true to yourself may have even felt so risky, that putting it off was the easiest course of action. However you’ve approached your situation, you’ve returned to feeling unfulfilled and longing for more.

The reason that you haven’t experienced lasting success is because you haven’t approached who you are from the depths of your personal power. It’s highly likely that you’ve been focusing on the vulnerability of expressing your authentic self, rather than the empowered strength and courage that arise when you uncover the fear that underpins your vulnerability.

By doing so, you not only nourish yourself, you expand your leadership abilities and experience greater opportunities for success. Ultimately, you remove the filters that so many of us have learned to see the world through.

Three Principles of Personal Power

If you want to connect with the core of who you truly are, maintain all that you value, and experience more of what you desire, integrating the following three principles of personal power will bring you the freedom you long for.

1. Everything is energy.

When you solely interact with the world from a physical perspective, it can feel static and unchangeable. However, the world isn’t as solid as you may think. In fact, everything is energy, including you!

Energy is the invisible, intangible fuel that creates our physical world. Think of how the sun’s energy supports photosynthesis, allowing plants to grow, which in turn fuel you. When you start to see all things for the energy that they really are, you start to see yourself from a new perspective. Just as energy is limitless and full of potential, so are you. And when you learn to harness the energy within you, you soon realize how malleable life really is!

2. Life gets a lot easier when you learn to harness your energy.

Energy attracts like energy and where your attention goes, energy flows.  In other words, the reality you experience is a result of your overall level of energy and what you focus your attention on.

If for example, you continue to focus on the vulnerability of being authentic and the fear of being exposed, you continue to live in that reality.  One where you need to protect what’s important and of value to you for fear of losing it.

Instead, imagine for a minute, what life would be like if you were more self-accepting, confident and fearless.  The way in which you would interact with others and the subsequent reality you’d experience would be very different.  You’d shine your light, refocus your priorities and embrace opportunities with greater energy and direction.

So what keeps you stuck?  As humans, we’ve been trained to see and react to fear.  And while this survival instinct is useful, fear is so overused in our world that it is the predominant energy that keeps us stagnant and entrenched in the familiar.  Fear often masks as caution, procrastination or perfectionism. Yet, no matter how it shows up, fear ultimately restricts us, weighs us down and dims the light of our true selves.

When you expose fear, you are freed from the limiting beliefs of who you are, what you deserve and what you can achieve.  You shift from experiencing the world as a reflection of how you’ve learned to be, to embracing the reflection of your authentic self.

3. Your personal power is yours to embrace.

Within each of us, is a deep, connected power.  It is always within you, so contrary to what you’ve been taught, there’s no need to seek or gain power from others. When you connect with your core essence, you are empowered to express yourself authentically without limitations or inhibitions.

You realize that everything in life is an opportunity for your personal growth and expansion.  You start to see every situation, positive or negative, as a chance to experience your personal power.  You learn to embrace yourself with acceptance and love. And as you increase your overall energy, you not only create a deeper connection with your true self, but with others as well.

As you feel more centered and confident in yourself, you learn to navigate life’s ebbs and flows with greater certainty and perspective.  And with each new experience, you further embrace your personal power, express more of your authenticity and create a ripple effect for others to embrace.

Taken together, these three principles support your ability to shift from surviving to thriving! They allow you to be accomplished and fulfilled, to release your vulnerability and to find your ‘I’ – the authentic, empowered, fearless being you truly are!
