The Powerlessness Trap
The Powerlessness Trap
Have you been feeling powerless lately?
It can feel like being in a prison, with your brain constantly searching for the right key to get out.
It feels like being stuck in an impossible situation. Feeling stuck always feels impossible.
Most people think power comes from the outside. They think if they can “get more power in the form of money, admiration, or acceptance, then they will feel powerful. But that’s an illusion. That is not how power works.
Real power can only come from inside of you. And it’s already in you, and always has been since you were born.
So if you are feeling powerless, defeated or deflated, just remember, you have everything you need right now. All of your power is within you.
You’ve just forgotten and got disconnected from it.
Here’s what usually happens:
The Endless Powerlessness Trap:
1. Feel like you are lacking, not enough, or powerless.
2. Decide to work hard to get power.
3. Search and work hard by searching for power outside of yourself in the form of more money, status, career, admiration, relationships, etc.
4. Feel empty and powerless still. If not more so.
5. Search harder for more. Feel more defeated.
The good news? You can stop feeling powerless by looking within. All of your power is inside of you.
