Power
How do we harness our personal power? Power is something you must give to yourself. No one makes the rules of your own life. You have to take control of your own life. No one is going to do it for you. You have to decide what you are willing to put up with and what you want. If you want more money you have to ask for it and go out and find jobs that pay you what you deserve. Do not accept any offers that don’t meet your needs. No one is determining your worth in that moment. You are accepting or not accepting what is being offered. If you want to have more time off or take vacations you have to ask for time off and plan vacations. No one is going to suggest it or protect the time for you.
You need to create your boundaries and command your space. Command your time and energy. What do you want to work on? Where do you want to live? You decide. No is always an option. If someone asks you a questions your input is wanted, which means you have the option to say no. If someone makes a request or sets a demand, you still have the choice to say no, this does not work for me. Yes, sometimes these boundaries may lead to lost opportunities, jobs, relationships, but those things were not what you wanted. Those things did not meet your needs.
Respect your autonomy, and satiate your dreams. Yes, you can want more and make known how you want to live. That does not mean everyone around you is going to give it to you. But that does not mean you won’t get it. Keep moving. If one person says no, on to the next one. It is not a closed door, it is a step on the path towards accepting what you want. We have the control. We get to say yes or no. Everything that is happening in your life is because somewhere along the line you accepted it. If this is no longer working for you stop accepting it. Demand what you deserve. Your needs cannot be met if you never ask for them.
Express yourself and share your desires. This is how you create your reality. Say yes and no to things that truly resonate with you and bring you joy and curate the atmosphere around you to vibrate at your resonance.
