Personal power is a quality few people understand. It has very little to do with physical strength or technical proficiency. Its a commodity different from political power, economic power or even Military power, although people who have personal power can usually achieve in those fields if they choose to. To get to the point, personal power is the powerful force that you generate by freeing yourself from fear of failure, no matter the consequences.

We all walk through life making decisions by anticipating the potential outcomes of our actions. All too often people make a choice not based on what they can achieve, but what fearful outcome can be avoided.

Achieving personal power means finding the courage to drive ahead no matter what your problem threatens.

When you divorce yourself from any fear of failure, your problem no longer holds any power over you.

Man and Woman’s greatest fear is death. Imagine the power you wield when you throw off your fear of dying! If you can kick that fear all other problems in life become trivial.

There are those who quietly walk into crowded rooms and command attention simply by their presence. These people stand straight and tall, and they project a confidence that only comes from years of disciplined training. They don’t join in cliques-more times than not, they stand alone-but they recognize and gravitate towards each other.

They shake your hand with a  firm grip, and when they meet your eyes, you feel an energy you can’t describe.

The first step in achieving personal power is always to assume you are going to die tomorrow. Face it, embrace it…savor it! Now go out and do today what you most need to achieve in this world!

Tell that special someone that you love them unconditionally. When you are up to your eyebrows in work, take the time to play with your children.

Workout harder than you ever have…hold nothing back! Eat so clean that your body has to burn fat, you have no time for junk! Go out and do what must be done….today!

The Superior man/woman undergoes three changes:
Looked at from a distance, he/she appears stern.
When approached, he/she is mild.
When he/she is heard to speak, his/her language is firm and decided.
Confucius

Fast as the wind, quiet as the forest, aggressive as fire and immovable as a mountain.

Life is too short to by mentally and physically weak. Leave nothing to chance. Think of today, go out and do what must be done! Tomorrow will take care of itself…..
