You, My Dear, Are Powerful

One of the most difficult things for me to watch, both personally and professionally, is when women respond as if they are powerless.  Now, I'm not saying that we never feel powerless, you know when our kids are hurt or sick and we feel powerless because we cannot make it go away at that moment.  No, I'm talking about when the attitude, mindset, and behaviors of women are in alignment with powerlessness when they actually have power.  They are not powerless. I am not powerless. You are not powerless.

See there is an epidemic of women feeling powerless which is the reason for the recent projects and press as of late.  I love that as women we can feel united and there is an outcry, because I have also been violated, hurt, harassed, and felt powerless.  Though there may have been things that were done to me, I was never actually powerless, but I didn't know that at the time.  See we all have power inside of us.  Most of us can access it in different areas of our lives, but in certain places, you know those places we try to protect, those vulnerable places, we feel like we don't have power.

This idea of powerlessness has led many women to not only label themselves as victims, but continue to victimize themselves.  The power is not in replaying the circumstance, situation, or event over and over. The power is in moving on.  The power is in the mind and deep within the soul.  It's the power that generates forgiveness when it isn't deserving, and love where hatred would seem a whole easier.  The power, their power, my power, your power....is and has always been there, and in the right environment and with the right tools, it can be accessed. In fact, the more you access, the easier it is.  The power that you accessed to succeed in school is the same power that you access to succeed at work.  The same power to succeed in your work is the same power accessed to succeed in relationships, parenting, health, fitness, and finances. 

The problem, you see, is not that we are powerless but that we have yet to access the power in that particular area of our lives.  Think about the areas where you have strength and where you thrive, that is where you are accessing your power.  The areas where you are weak, it's just a matter of tapping into that same power you access for your strengths.  It is actually very simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy.  This takes practice, and usually the breaking down of barriers and perceived limitations.  You can access this power for all areas of your life.  

So remember when you come upon a situation, a circumstance, or an event in which you cannot control and feel powerless against, just know that there are things you can control including how much power you give away.  You always have a choice in your thoughts, your words, your mindset, your behaviors.  The more you give away to someone else, the less power you keep for yourself.  So the next time you're in one of those situations just remember that no matter what comes your way or what you face.....

YOU, MY DEAR, ARE POWERFUL
