Take aways from todays episode:
Power is a source; it’s internal and liberates (or amplifies) anything it touches.
Control is a force; it’s external and limits everything it touches.
(Most) Self-Development subtly teaches us that to achieve anything, to be free, to amplify something, to be anything, to have anything we must: start something, stop something, be something, change something, etc.
I teach that “You already are all you need to be, right where you are.” That’s the truth of power. . . .
The Four Principles of Power are: Choice, Ownership, Equality and Presence. To experience the gifts of true power (unlimited, sustainable, growth oriented, organically self-perpetuating results) we must practice the four principles of power, and one critical contingency. The contingency that they are like being pregnant, there is no half pregnant. Each principle must be activated and applied to experience the results of power. If you are practicing one but not the others you are still trading in control, and will experience the results of control.
Some of the indicators of Control (the opposite of power) are: impatience, frustration, irritation, judgment, guilt, blame, wanting something in our way, on our time, etc. When we find ourselves feeling these things, they are indicators that we are trading in the currency of control over power. Anytime we tie ourselves to something external; a situation, circumstance, person or destination – the one we’re running from or the one we’re running to – we’ve engaged in control and limited ourselves, our results and our experience.
Three 5-minute challenges one can do to shift from control to power (once you notice one of those indicators) are:
1. Turn Fault into Focus (We can talk about how you do this in 5 minutes a day, for 24 hours to shift your entire experience of life).
2. Turn Shoulds into Coulds and then into a Choice. Should is a judgment. Could is a choice. Choice is a commitment. (I have a 5-minute exercise people can do to practice releasing judgment and engaging in conscious choice and thus power.)
3. Turn challenges into opportunities. “It Is What It Is. So What? Now What?” (This is a practice you can do anytime you find yourself below the line emotionally. The practice reminds us to surrender and accept the moment for what it is. Make a choice of what to do now.)
Do each of these 5-minute exercises several times a day for 24 hours straight and it will revolutionize your relationship with power. You will shift from trading in control, to trading in power. You will shift from limitation to liberation, from mediocrity to magic. The key is to practice these in your everyday practical life: when driving in the car, dealing with your teenager, talking to your lover, producing results at work, passing a stranger, etc.
