Regaining Your Personal Power

People with a low personal power or self-worth are generally fearful of what they perceive to be attacks on them as individuals. They have experienced and internalised the consequences of failure and rejection and it really scares them.

This counterfeit appears real when you allow others to set the values and standards from which success or failure and acceptance or rejection are measured. Your ideas of rejection and failure are usually based on what others have said to you. You seem to have relinquished control over your future.

Building an identity based on my ability to gain acceptance drove me deeper into the bondage of the performance trap. It wasn’t until I learned that true unconditional acceptance could only be gained from within, that I could overcome the fear of what other people thought of me and move forward into my full potential.

Fear of others' opinions can be overcome by not relinquishing to them your Personal Power. Positive self-talk, practiced every day, can negate the negative words of others. Remember, you are more qualified than anyone to have an opinion about yourself.
