I'm sitting in chapel listening to an older man speak.

He's a seasoned pastor. The kind you would like to be by your bedside shortly after doctor has informed you that your time on earth is limited.

Very limited.

"Doc," they call him. I listen closely to what Doc is saying. No one would call him an orator. And he certainly isn't energetic!

But he is real. As real as you can get.

As I'm listening intently to what Doc is saying, I notice something else: other members of our audience are listening in exactly same manner.

Older ones. Younger ones. It doesn't matter. All are listening.

Intently.

WHY?

I think, "Why? Why are we listening so attentively to what this man is sharing?"

I answer myself by saying,

"Because he is speaking from his heart."

He and his God have walked a long time on this earth together. He is sincere and all of us in room can sense it.

A SIMPLE POINT

To harness your personal power is to become more assertive, to act in your own best interests while maintaining a global awareness of world in which you live. By harnessing your personal power, you will become healthily responsible for your own emotions, thoughts and actions, and stop giving yourself away without your conscious consent.

Harnessing your personal power is a simple and true commitment to yourself and life you want to enjoy. The process entails taking following steps toward changes you want to see in your life:

*Know yourself: what brings you joy, comfort, drive, love? *Dare to be you. *Ask for what you want and what makes you feel good. *Treat yourself in accordance to your needs and wants.

On your path to unleash your inner power, you may have difficulty adjusting to a new paradigm. But you must hold true to your commitment if you are ever going to feel complete and achieve your full potential. With your newfound personal power you will truly be able to enjoy genuine and healthy relationships with others, feel content with life's goods and gifts, and view life as an opportunity and gift.
