Power.Say that word out loud. Roll it around in your mouth. How does it feel?Does it excite you? Or do you feel the “OW” in the middle?Successful people know how to express personal power on a fairlyconsistent basis. Yet for most of us, we fear power because we are atthe mercy of someone else’s power. This isn’t surprising: As children,we learned to submit to other people’s rules.

It’s like a standing field that doesn’t move.Gravity itself, for instance, doesn’t move against anything. Its powermoves all objects within its field, but the gravity field itself doesnot move.“Force always moves against something, whereas power doesn’t moveagainst anything at all. Force is incomplete and therefore has to befed energy constantly. Power is total and complete in itself andrequires nothing from outside. It makes no demands; it has no needs.”To live in the world as a fully expressed human being requires personalpower.
