Mastering Your Creative Power

What does it mean to be empowered?

Do you need to have money, fame, beauty, special abilities, or be invested with authority to be empowered?

The short answer is “no”, you can empower yourself.

Your personal creative power is your ability to create, “to bring into existence from nothing”. It empowers you, allowing you to operate from the place of: “I have the ability to create whatever I want.” This is true power, a sense of well-being, the power that Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Martin Luther King had. Once you understand how to access and use that power you can never lose it like you can with money, beauty, or authority.

What does it mean to be disempowered?

To be disempowered is to operate from a position of lack. If you think about it, all the negative emotions of anger, fear, and despair; all stem from lack. If you belief you are lacking in some aspect of your character, you see the world through that filter and feel bad about yourself. It could be as simple as a subtle belief that you are unworthy of respect. Then, if someone is disrespectful, you will automatically begin operating inside the Circle of Disempowerment and depending on where you land you will behave and act accordingly. When you feel bad, you tend to blame others for the situation and act out rather than taking constructive action.

When you try to achieve a goal from the position of lack, you see many obstacles and you generally have a “I can’t” or “I won’t” attitude, which tends to create more lack.

You might ask, “Where did this belief in lack come from?” It turns out; you empowered it with your own creative power. You may have picked up the idea from parents, teachers, or society, but until you empowered it as a belief, it had no power. Thus, your creative power is the source of your own disempowerment. This is good news!

How can you empower yourself?

Since your creative power is the source of your disempowerment, you can take your power back. First, you have to take responsibility for your beliefs. Only you can hold your beliefs; no one can believe for you. Using the 5 principles of Mastering Your Creative Power you can decide to let go of your belief in lack. It turns out that once you stop investing in your belief in lack, you need do nothing more. You automatically return to your natural state of well-being. You will then operate inside the Circle of Empowerment.

It may surprise you to see all the positive emotions like: love, peace, and joy associated with power. But think about personal power. Isn’t it self-confidence, believing in yourself; that “You have the ability to create what you want.” This is the experience on no lack or well-being and power. If you lack nothing, you are safe and free to do or create whatever you want. You will feel good about yourself, be open to new opportunities, and be more willing to help others.

Almost everyone tends to bounce back and forth between feeling good, well-being, and feeling bad, lack; depending on life’s situations.

How come sometimes you feel empowered and sometimes you feel disempowered?
