Personal Power

by Joseph Fedorowsky

Your own Personal Power essentially flows from an allowance in which you permit yourself to access and accept all of who you are while genuinely trusting yourself, and not selling yourself short or putting yourself down.

From that perspective, your own personal power is integral to you, a significant aspect of who you already are. It is not something apart from you which you must obtain or which you need to control or measure. Your own personal power is thus not actually determined by how much influence or control you wield over your environment or others or even over yourself.

Personal power has to do with consciously tapping into you, into your own energy, such that you recognize the choices you have at hand and such that you express an ability to act on those choices in the here and now, and thus create and accomplish what it is you intend and what you desire to create and accomplish.

This movement toward access and acceptance of yourself is quite natural. It involves a shift in your perception, not treadmill exercises to ‘get motivated’ or ‘improve’ or ‘develop’ or similar. That shift within your perception may more accurately be viewed as a continuous opening up to who you already are and thus distinguished from pushing yourself to become something you’re not.

Recognizing and understanding your own personal power will involve exploring the various components of personal power, such as time, communication, perception and so on. All of these areas and more will be developed on this website and through the services offered and shared.

Another approach to personal power is to view it as your own personal, direct authority over your own life and person, and the present, objective ability to create what you desire in your experience within the physicality of your day-to-day waking reality.

This expression includes the concept of victim, of helplessness and lack of control.  Victim is reflected in a belief in which you view yourself as a person who has little or no control of some aspect of your own life. It is a perspective that boxes you in such that you view aspects of your reality (people, circumstances, your body, money, relationships, for example) as controlling of you, which deny you choices and which restrict your movement and freedom.

The expression of victim is more or less opposite to the expression of personal power and of your ability and of your responsibility to generate your own reality as you prefer. As you recognize how you may be viewing various aspects of your life in victim mode, the movement toward yourself from there is not to put yourself down and not to chastise yourself, but to recognize how that view directly impacts what you actually do create moment-to-moment.

That recognition is the beginning of the perceptual shift toward accessing more your own personal power and freedom.
