Your Biz: Do You Have This Fatal Flaw?

Fatal Flaw
Giving your Power away

How does this flaw affect your business? Relationships? Employees? Clients?

Giving your power away seems like an obvious thing to avoid doing! Without your power, you are stuck, immobilized, and unable to follow your passion. Why would anyone want to give it away?

This is a particularly difficult one for some folks to swallow, but the simple truth is that people give their power away far too often.

Sometimes people think that they cannot move forward in their personal and business lives because of someone or something else. They blame others and circumstances (economy) for their lack of progress. Their language is seasoned with "if only's", and they see themselves as powerless victims...how unfortunate?!?

Sometimes when people face adversities, they start playing the "blame game" to alleviate their pain.

However, usually they don't realize the dangers of playing the "blame game":

1. It can make us passive and blind to opportunities that are right under our noses. (Opportunities are pouring on you like rain - are you receiving them or holding an umbrella?)
2. We get "stuck in the muck" of our gripes. (The toxic energy clings on repelling wealth and health.)
3. We may get trapped in the habit of whining and complaining (That means you're attracting clients or customers who will do the same with you).
4. The more we blame, the more helpless and hopeless life seems. (Would you want to do business with a person like that let alone spend any significant amount of time with them?)
5. We make poor choices when we operate from a helpless mindset. (Making decisions out of fear are 9 out 10 times the wrong decisions)

As you can see, we give our power away to the person we're blaming. We say that another person or condition owns our power. We forget that we have power to control what we think, how we feel and how we act. So, in forgetting, we close our eyes to our options, believing we are 100% powerless.

There is usually a portion of the problem that has nothing to do with others or circumstances: it has to do with how we are responding.

HOW TO OVERCOME IT?

1. Next time you start blaming and feeling like a victim, ask yourself: Am I really 100% helpless and hopeless?
2. Some situations are extremely difficult to overcome, but there are also countless stories of people who have overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. How did those people do it--how did they retain their power?

I've noticed in my work with clients, there are "victims", "survivors", and "thrivers".

"Thrivers" often take three steps:

• They determine what is still in their control, what they can influence, and what they cannot change.
• They direct the majority of their focus toward what is in their control.
• They take actions within their "realm of control".

If you are playing the blame game, start by asking yourself,

"What are all of the things that are NOT in my control?
What are all of the things that ARE in my control?"

When you focus upon what is in your control, rather than upon what is not, you will reclaim the power that is YOURS! Become who you aspire and admire in others.

REMEMBER: This is a process that you can begin now, mastering comes much much later! Persist and you'll free yourself and your energy to pursue your passion! As you begin to realize and appreciate your personal power, you will become more open to listening to your own inner guidance and taking steps in your own path!
