Who pulled your plug?
Young children have a passion to explore new things...their inspiration, motivation, desire and passion drive them to play and have fun...UNTIL...SOMEONE ELSE HAS A DIFFERENT AGENDA!...someone who is much bigger and more powerful...perhaps a parent or another authority figure.
How is your identity affected?
It's when others have, or think they have authority over us, that they "pull the plug" on our power by intimidating us in some way...they put limitations on us, make us feel guilty or ashamed of ourselves, punish us...they do whatever is necessary to get us to conform to the identity they have chosen for us, so they can hold onto their power.
What gave them the power to taint your identity and
pull your plug to disconnect your power?
Unfortunately, when others use coercion, manipulation or force to get their way, we often panic...can't think straight...feeling powerless as our self esteem or self confidence is being attacked or eroded. Before we can do any "self assessment," many of us promptly perceive ourselves as "bad," or unacceptable. It's not unusual to feel ourselves spiraling downward, resulting in feelings of humiliation, anger, despair, and other negative feelings.
This, in turn, can cause us to believe that our identity is one of powerlessness, low self esteem, and low self confidence, with insurmountable limitations. So, did they pull the plug on our power, or did we do it to ourselves by believing in our limitations and pulling the plug on our own power?
It all starts by giving away our power in order to be accepted.
In many of us, the desire to be accepted is so strong that we are willing to do anything to not be condemned, criticized, punished or shunned, including giving up our power. When we are criticized, invalidated, or punished for not following the values, beliefs, or "rules" of those who are "more acceptable" than us...those who are more powerful, influential, or have "more status" than us...we focus on creating strategies that will allow us to "give up our power" in order to be accepted. We have decided to conform to the identity that they require us to fulfill at the time, because being accepted is so important to us.
The greatest misperception is the definition of "power."
Power is often perceived as "coercion, manipulation, and force in order to take power away from someone else." It is often designed to cause you to panic in order to render you powerless. We call this "outer power."
So what is inner power?
It starts with awareness...awareness of the whole picture. It starts with being able to look at all the pieces of the puzzle. It's determining where you're at now, looking at who you want to be, or where you want to go, then using your motivation and desire for success to strategize and create a whole picture that will result in a win/win situation.
Inner Power gives us the ability to see more pieces of the puzzle...
new insights that defy the negative opinions
you have of yourself, and that others have of you.
Inner power is the ability to find pieces of the puzzle that we're missing...things that are outside of our awareness. Without knowing, or being able to see the whole picture, it's easy for our "self assessment" to continue to condemn or punish ourselves for our limitations...for putting ourselves in the position of feeling dumb, inadequate, or invalid. On the other hand, connecting with your inner power can make it easy to find the missing pieces to the whole picture. Imagine being able to defy the panic that others try to inflict on you. Imagine being able to feel good as you elevate your low self esteem and self confidence, and experience success you couldn't imagine!
What's the first step?
To be aware of negative expectations, negative feelings, and negative beliefs, and what bothers you. To be aware that these bothers are the key to finding the puzzle pieces that are missing. To be aware that when we have suppressed and hidden the inspiration, motivation, desire, and passion, that when found and activated, can give us different perspectives on who we are and what we are capable of. This is all the "self assessment" you need to get started.
What if you were able to find inner strengths
that defied your negative beliefs about yourself and your life?
It's easy to focus on negative beliefs about ourselves, because our negative feelings are so hard to ignore. We get stuck reacting to the "outer power" that's so prevalent in the world, which holds us in a space where positive solutions are out of our awareness. Success begins with the awareness that there is a treasure trove of hidden positive inner strengths within you that, when activated and expressed from your inner power, can give you new insights that defy the negative opinions you have of yourself, as well as those that others have of you. Imagine being able to lift yourself into an identity of greater self esteem and self confidence!
