Personal Power is emotional energy.
The state of my emotional energy, my state of being, determines the level of my emotional power. When I am unaware of my emotional power, my level of emotional power determines my emotional state of being. When the direction of my awareness is on my emotional power, I am able to choose my state of being.
Choosing an empowered state of being is a powerful choice. I cannot choose what I am unaware of and what I am unaware of, I cannot attribute to my Self. I can only attain a state of being as an attainment, once I can attribute it to my Self with awareness.
Choosing to be positive often results in a negative choice because positive & negative are a duality of the polarity of my emotional power. I cannot choose to be positive unless I am able to choose a positive emotion as the expression of who I am currently being. In the absence of a positive choice, my default choice is always negative.
When I am disempowered and needing to feel positive emotion, I have insufficient power to choose a positive state of being. Only when I choose a positive state of being with authority, will I be empowered to act in a beneficial way.
With awareness, I can attribute a positive emotional state of being to my Self. When I can choose to be in a positive state of being and I can feel it, I give that emotion it’s own authority and with that authority it becomes empowered. In this way, I authorise my power and my power becomes authorised.
Awareness allows choice, choice allows authority, authority allows power and power allows awareness.
The paradox of personal power is that I have to feel it, to have it and I have to have it, to feel it.
In the absence of the awareness of my authority of choice, I default to the unawareness of someone else’s authority of choice. When following another’s authority, I am always disempowered and in need of motivation.
Motivation is how I get my need for personal power met, sub-consciously, by myself or from other people.
Empowerment is how I connect to my own internal source of personal emotional power.
When my awareness of choice is within me, my authority is within me and my power is within me. I can only express what is within me.
When I do not go within, I go without my personal power.
