Unlocking The Hidden Power You Never Knew You Had
There is a hidden strength within you that needs to be harnessed. One of the greatest powers that you will ever possess may not come from titles, it may not even come from your bank account, nor your job, but from within you. It is ironic that a lot of people spend a considerable amount of time looking for power from external sources, chasing validation from people, influence from social media, and whatnot, while they overlook the reservoir of strength that is resident right within them. It is the strength from within that triggers the strength on the outside.
Sometimes in the past, I was watching a video of Nick Vujicic and something struck me. You may have known that he had a rare medical condition at birth that made him born without hands and legs. By the standards of the world, he was very disadvantaged and powerful. However, he did not allow himself to be conformed by the standards of the world. He went on to unleash the power within him. Today, he had become among the greatest motivators and influencers in the world, and has travelled to lots of countries. Adorably, he has even entered places and through doors that he would not have walked in. This is because he discovered that if you can harness your power from within, your greatest weakness can become your greatest source of strength.
The power within you is a combination of your mind, your will, your spirit and your resilience. It is that force that cannot be seen yet cannot be denied, which pushes you to keep going even when other things are saying stop. However, why it looks like some people do not tap into their hidden power can be linked to a lot of factors. These factors include fear - some people just try to convince themselves that they are not good enough to try it and get it, so they feel it is safer not to try than to try and fail. Another factor is negativity - some people do not see positive things about anything that happens, not even about themselves. They always see negativity and it affects them, and prevents them from making attempts. Another very important factor is perfection. The expectation of perfection can actually limit someone from taking steps because you may not have the perfect opportunity to start. If Nick Vujicic was waiting for perfection, he would not have made a move.
As a way to unlock the hidden power within you that you never even knew you had, there are factors that you need to consider. Firstly, you need to discover your "why." That is, the reason for your existence, the reason why you wake up every morning. If you do not know your purpose, you may not know the power that you can wield. But if you know your purpose, your power will be greatly multiplied. It is purpose that will turn challenges to stepping-stone. The second thing is to take control of your mindset. What goes on within your mind will determine what comes out of you. One of the most dangerous places to be defeated is in your mind. Always remind yourself that "I can." With this mindset, you will be opened to possibilities.
In addition to taking control of your mindset, you should also learn to take prompt steps. No matter how small the step might be, as long as it is prompt and consistent, then it will make a lot of impact in the long run. Power is like the human muscle which grows by constant usage. When you start a gym process, the muscle does not grow overnight, rather through constant usage and weightlifting, it will grow. In the same way, to unleash the power within, you have to learn to take actions.
Finally, you also need to surround yourself with people that will help you build energy - positively inclined people. The people you stay with will either charge you or drain you, so make a choice of the people that will ignite your potentials, not the people that will quench it.
