Now you might ask, what defines personal power? I define it as really living the life of one’s dreams.

Despite fear. Despite the economy. Despite sometimes insurmountable odds.

And with every powerful person I’ve had the pleasure of working with along the way, they all have experienced what I call  “The Critical Event”.

And that Critical Event is simply the decision point out of which issues a bold VISION and then DESIGN.

Or very often it’s a redesign of their path in life.

But far too often, this is where even highly educated professionals like us get hung up.

Too many continue to accept “fate”, and never allow the time, make the space in their busy days or give themselves the “permission” to make it to their decision points.

And life continues to reward in kind.

If you are really living your dreams think, go back to your decision points along the way. Congratulate yourself as you move forward.

But if you are not feeling powerful, be sure to begin the process of visualization then design every day, starting today!

Always, live and practice by design, not default!
