Step Into Your Own Powerful Self

It never ceases to amaze me how people like to rely on other people for help, support or advice. Worse still – how people tend to blame others for their problems and current circumstances.

In reality, the solutions could not be easier. We just have to realize that we are our own powerhouse. All we have to do is step into it and use the power that is there in our disposal and has always been.

I watched some time ago the speech Oprah Winfrey gave when she announced that her current TV season will be her last. She was holding it together very well until a certain moment, when emotions took over and she needed to pause and compose herself before she continued. In that pause, there was everything. In that pause I saw a powerful woman, who made a decision not to cry, because she knew she would probably never stop and that would have spoiled the moment. Having said that, how many of us would crumble under the pressure? How many of us would allow factors other than our own decisions to take over? Probably many of us.

By stepping into our own powerhouse we take the power for our decisions and our behavior into our own hands and deal with life situations from that starting point. If things don’t work out, we are responsible and can try a different way. If things go brilliantly, hey, we take that responsibility and pride, too!

When facing a tough decision or a difficult situation, just remind yourself that you are the one who holds the power. If the analogy with a powerhouse helps, use it. Imagine yourself stepping into a powerhouse called your inner self, switch on all the lights and off you go. The lights will show you the way and the walls of the house will protect you. You are invincible.
