I used always be a shy kid, stepping away from situations that would cause me to be the center of attention. I never liked being in the middle of the room or on camera or even called by name if I did well in my exams or sporting achievements. I would prefer to be near the door, in the background, helping behind the scenes and so forth but what was causing this?

Powerlessness has a very close relationship with fear and funny enough so does being in a position of power. Feeling powerless over certain circumstances and situations you may encounter in your life may be very well justified but it can open the door to additional fear which can magnify it even further. How do we change from being in a position of powerlessness to one of power? Some experience the final straw threshold, this makes them want get up and face what it is that they fear most and take a different stance. I can relate to this also and I am sure so most of you guys and gals can too.

I think that is what happened to me, I got tired, I got tired of depending on others for my sustainability, positivity, security, happiness and so forth. People let you down in life and this is certain but there must come a time in ones life where they are sick and tired of taking crap from people, sick of being broke or struggling financially, sick of being harassed by banks and lending agencies, just simply sick.

What is the solution to this? Taking control of ones life can only occur in that persons life. They must come to a place within themselves where everything else they have tried has failed and the only option is to step outside of their comfort zone and try something new, educate themselves and stare down fear. Powerlessness can become instantly transformed into being Powerful over that specific situation. Your poison becomes your cure so to speak. Is there an area in your life where you feel powerless?

Have you endeavored to look at the options available to you to provide a solution? Here is what I say, get up and get active. Powerlessness comes from fear and can attract more fear to it. If there is a problem in your life whether its relationships, work, money, lack of freedom, spiritual confusion, whatever it is...there is a solution to it, first of all find the solution. Then develop a plan to make that solution a reality in your life. We limit ourselves too much and because of this we let slip multiple opportunities from our grip and live in regret and frustration.

Do it, make the shift to being in a position of power in your life in every area. Put your mind to work and go for it! Thanks for reading this article; it will speak to different people in different ways. I enjoyed writing it.
