Your Point of Power

We’d all like to be flying above the storms of life
and it’s possible, but knowing your Point of Power
is the key. There will always be storms, but you can
choose to remain on the ground, battling the storms
or you can supersede the natural law of gravity that
governs the earthbound by achieving lift and leaving
the ground, with its storms, far beneath you.
Your personal Point of Power is that point at which
you achieve lift and begin the ascent from the ground
of your circumstances to that clear blue sky above
the clouds. It’s different for each of us, this point
of power, this breakthrough point that powers us
through the clouds, and it often differs from day to
day.
So, how do you know what your point of power is?
Here are a few clues.
- It’s that point at which you face down your biggest
fear. It’s that moment at which you determine that
fear no longer has the power to paralyze you.
If you have to move forward with fear digging its
talons into your back, you will. That’s the point
of power called courage. That’s when you become
truly unbeatable.
- It’s the point at which you let go of that
ancient grudge. When you begin to see that your
lack of forgiveness will poison no one but you,
and realize that no matter how wronged you were,
the grudge you hold is turning your own heart to
stone, then you will soar.
- It’s the point at which you surrender control
and begin to trust in what you know to be Truth.
Very few of us actually lack knowledge of the Truth
– we just refuse to live by it, preferring to take
what appears to be the easy way.
Face the Truth, acknowledge it and then commit to
order your life accordingly and you won’t be able to
keep yourself from rising.
- It’s the point at which you acknowledge and
accept your Purpose and Mission and step into it
wholeheartedly. When you realize that your life on
earth is no accident and you have a reason for
being here, a job to do, your point of power
becomes your driving passion.
- It’s the point at which you put Goals to your
Visions, wings to your dreams. Driven by your vibrant
Visions and willing to risk everything in bringing
them to pass, you will take to the air above those
who are still stuck striving for comfort and ease
in life.
- It’s the point at which you realize that it’s
not necessary to learn it all, understand it all,
or have it “all together” before you soar. It’s
enough to know that the laws of lift work whenever
the conditions come together.
You don’t have to wait to take a commercial flight
until you understand completely how it works – it’s
enough to know that it does.
- It’s the point at which you allow yourself to
love freely, give of yourself with abandon, expecting
nothing in return. And it’s the point at which the
needs and concerns of others become personal issues
for you.
- It’s the point at which you determine to operate
in integrity no matter what everyone else is doing
or how it looks, the point at which your character
achieves clarity.
- It’s the point at which you make a quality
decision, no more waffling, and begin to live it;
the point at which you examine your motives in light
of your Purpose and Mission and are willing to change
yourself, and no one else.
It’s the moment at which you assume responsibility
and remove the word BUT from your vocabulary.
You can rev your engines all you want and you can
even begin to move down the runway. But until you
find that Point of Power, you’re going nowhere, and
you’ll never achieve lift or experience the
exhilaration of watching the earth move away
beneath you as you point yourself to the endless
skies – no longer earthbound.
Your greatest potential is realized at your personal
point of power. You were designed to soar. If you’re
feeling earthbound, begin today to determine what’s
sapping your power and then take the steps necessary
to rid yourself of it.
Achieve lift on your personal life path, in your
relationships and in your career.If you’re soaring
already, experiencing the thrill of operating above
the storm, don’t forget those still earthbound. You
have the secret; don’t be stingy. Find someone who’s
stuck and help them get off the ground!
