Pop quiz hot shot!
Donโt worry. Thereโs just one question.
Whoโs in charge of your life?
If you answered, โI am,โ then congratulations! Youโre right. You are the only person ultimately in charge of your life โ good or bad, right or wrong, healthy or not, happy or not.
The power to create the life you want is within YOU, nestled alongside that awesome concept of personal responsibility. Theyโre joined at the hip, those two, and thatโs what I want to write about today.
This is on my mind because I sometimes hear from people who feel they have no control over their lives.

So, letโs clear this up right now.
The key to unlocking your own power and exercising more control over your life is understanding that itโs all on you. You hold the reins. And you have to understand that you don’t know everything you need.
This means you get to โtake creditโ for all the good stuff in your life โ because you have woven them all together into your awesome, beautiful life.
Even the โbadโ stuff that was done to you. Granted, it might not have been your โfault,โ but itโs now your responsibility to make it better. If you donโt, then who will?
Once you start to see this, I want you to think about these ideas next.
โ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐: Your past is your greatest source of inner strength. Remember your successes and take inspiration from your own self! YOU DID ALL THOSE THINGS! Similarly, remember your setbacks and learn from them.
โ ๐บ๐๐ ๐บ๐ด๐จ๐น๐ป ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐: Let’s get strategic. Your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Track your progress, adapt as needed, and dance a little victory jig for every small win.
โ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐: Tell others and yourself about your new direction. Do this without apology. Too often we mumble something like, โWell, I guess I shouldnโt really say this, but I would like to beโฆโ Nonsense! Say it. Own it. Do it.
โ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐: Help others, share your opinion when itโs needed, and help where you can. By the same token, donโt be shy to ask for help when you need it. Yes, asking for help is part of being powerful. Just ask any powerful person you admire!
โ ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐, ๐ด๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐: our well-being is non-negotiable. Care for your body with exercise, nourishing food, and restful sleep. Cultivate your mind through positive habits and manage stress. Speak your emotions, embrace spiritual practices that resonate with you โ even on tough days.
This journey isnโt always a breeze. But every step you take builds on the one before. Success begets success. Power grows more power.
And itโs all in YOU.
