I just connected three conversations I had in the last few months.
First, one of my coaches taught me that we don't have energy; we create energy. Then, I reconnected with an old friend and wonderful person who made me realize that the same may apply to power: we create power. Finally, a dear friend reminded me of the power of choice.
These conversations reminded me that anytime we choose, we create our own power. How often have you thought, "I'm not powerful enough to make this choice"?
Me, quite often.
But I just realized that it's the other way around.
We don't choose because we have the power to do so.
We create our power by choosing.
That's the power we have.
However, to choose means to take responsibility for my reality, and that is the first step to freedom
But we must choose first.
Like any behavior in life, it's a practice.
We must practice choosing the words we say, the things we do, the questions we ask, the answers we give, the votes we cast, the places we go, the people we connect with, the steps we take, the stuff we buy, and so on.
We must learn to choose.
And with any intentional choice you make, you create your power.
What choice will you make today to create your power?
