Personal power can be a tremendous source of mental and emotional strength that can help us work through challenges, obstacles, setbacks, problems and adversity in more effective ways. In fact, it’s something that separates winners and losers in all fields of endeavor. Personal power and how you wield it is the one thing that often becomes a strong predictor of success. 

 It is your standards of happiness, love, values, personal development and responsibility that set your course in life. Have the courage to think as big as you can, expect nothing less than the best, and most importantly, be kind. 

If you want to increase your personal power, focus on building your self-awareness, strength, confidence, and move towards love, meaning and self-realization. Aim to master your inner world that consists of your values, vision, personal traits and competence. This doesn’t mean that you should completely withdraw from your material pursuits, but that you prevent it from influencing your sense of power.

Your personal power or inner strength is the core of your being, the spirit within you. When I speak of your spirit, I am not referring to your soul; I am referring to the power that is contained deep within you. Your spirit, or inner strength, is outwardly reflected in your personality. How you deal with difficulties, how you interact with and treat other people, and how you live your life are all reflections of the spirit that lies within you. When you allow your inner strength to shine through, you become capable of accomplishing things that you would not have been otherwise able to. 

Empower yourself by loving yourself. Take advantage of what it means to have the unrestricted opportunity to love your life, to be kind, and to strive for that beautiful and attainable sense of personal freedom. In your freedom lies your personal power.
