7 Ways to Unleash Your Power

The same power that makes the planets orbit, enables trees to grow and tides to move in and out on a flawless schedule, powers each person. Difficult as it is to comprehend, you can constrain that power through your thoughts, beliefs and choices.

Imagine the difference it would make if you tapped into just a fraction more of that power.

7 ways to unleash your power

1. Transfer power. For a motorcycle to move forward, power needs to be transferred from the engine to the rear wheel. In life, unless you put your thoughts and dreams into action, you’re not going to express your creativity. While alerting you to danger, fear attempts to keep you safe when it senses change. In reality, it usually serves only to constrain you through worry, anger, guilt and disappointment. Diverting energy to these emotions means it’s not being used fully to express your creativity. 9 Actions that Interfere with Transfer of Power

2. Choose wisely. You manage the power of your motorcycle through the choices you make. How you apply throttle, brake and gearing determines how much available power you access.

7. Keep it up. It’s a myth that power declines with age. Your spirit, from which power originates, is ageless.
