What is your true power?

Is it money? Is it connections? Is it knowledge? Wisdom? Intelligence? All the above are potential energies. A lot of people have them .Not everyone has a lot, but everyone has something. You, with your life experience, will definitely have some money saved up, some knowledge and experience gained through the years and some intelligence. But What's the most powerful thing of this all? None of these can be of any use if we do not use it. A high performance sports car is nothing without a driver to drive it forward. In my life experience, I have learned a thing or two. And I learned that, true power is always one thing: ·         The power of getting started. ·         Initiative. Starting something is the most powerful thing.Many people are more skilled than me. Many people are having more resources than many successful people.But the one thing that differentiates successful people from the others is that... Successful people keep starting. They don't keep thinking or planning for a long time.They just start.I had these thoughts while I was in the shower today. And I thought I will write a blog post about it. And instantly, a part of me resisted doing it.That's the laziness inside us.We procrastinate things.We tell a lie to ourselves and don't get started.One big devil's advocate in this process is perfectionism.We tell ourselves, if I do it, I will do it perfectly. And then we never get started.There is something called the law of diminishing intent.If you got an idea or an inspiration to start something, your enthusiasm about it will be 10/10 when the idea came to you.Within a few hours it will become like 9/10. By the end of the day it will become 8/10.After one week, your enthusiasm about that idea would be like 2/10.Then by that time, you would have sold yourself that it is not a great idea after all. What are you doing? You are building a graveyard of dead ideas within yourself. Ideas which could have changed the world, but never saw the light of the day.Successful people have learned one thing from their life experience. You got an idea?  Get started with it ASAP.Successful people defeat a lot of people in their life. They defeat the nay sayers.They defeat their competitors. They defeat evil with good intentions.But those things are nothing. Successful people can crush other people like bugs under their feet. Because the biggest monster they fight every day, is themselves. The part of them that prevents them from getting started. I came out of the shower and started writing this blog post. I didn't even wait till my hair dried.Because when inspiration for something hits, it is the most effective in the next one hour.Some projects take longer time, like a business plan and execution is not as simple as this article I am writing.But getting started with something gives it life. And it takes a life of its own.You will be powering it with your resources, but it gathers momentum. Got a business idea? Message a like-minded friend immediately. You will give it some life, and then it will pickup steam slowly.Thinking of joining a gym and taking better care of your health?Start researching at gyms around your area and inquire about the plans they have.There are many ways to defeat this monster.But the best way is to get started immediately. Apart from your success that follows after getting started, there is another big reason why you should get started.Because when you get an idea to do something, you are making a commitment with yourself. When you don't do it, you are breaking that commitment. ·         That makes you feel bad about yourself. ·         Your relationship with yourself erodes. ·         How would you feel if your friend said he will meet you at a coffee shop at 5'o clock and then comes at 6o'clock? ·         How would you feel if he doesn't even turn up and forgets about it? ·         May be once or twice you will forgive him. ·         But what if he does that every time? ·         You won't be friends with him anymore. ·         The relationship will break. How many commitments that you have done to yourself that you have not       done? Successful people feel great all the time because they plan something and then they do it.Just do it. If you do something, it will have some results. Yes, the results are a reward. But the best feeling and the best reward successful people get is that they feel great about themselves. Successful people are not let down when someone ditches them. They are not let down when their wealth is taken away.  They literally lose nothing. Because their biggest asset is themselves. If you make a commitment to go to them gym everyday from next week and if you actually do it without missing a single day for 3 months, how would that make you feel. ·         You will fall in love with YOU.  ·         You will be so happy all the time, because your best friend, YOURSELF, is dependable.  ·         This person will keep the commitment.  ·         You can count on YOU! ·         Don't count on anyone else, apart from you. Because others will always let you down. And you cannot do anything about it, because you cannot control other's actions. But did you forget about the best person in your life that you can count on?  That's yourself. So starting today, make a commitment to improve the relationship you have with yourself. Start things. ·         Keep the commitments to yourself. ·         Forget new year resolutions. ·         Enough of failing yourself.  ·         This moment is your new life.  ·         Make a life resolution, to keep the commitments that you make to yourself.  ·         Make a resolution that you will act on every idea that you get. ·         You will star t seeing results in your life. ·         Your reality will change for the better. ·         You will have so much wealth around you. ·         You will have good health. But above all, your relationship with yourself will be so awesome that you are happy all the time. ·         Once you fix yourself, you will not need friends and family. ·         Because there is nothing that you want from them. ·         That doesn't mean that you have to be alone. ·         You can enjoy all the time that you want with them.  ·         But when they are not around, you won't need them. ·         Because being alone doesn't scare you anymore. ·         Solitude is the art of spending time with yourself. ·         You will not be lonely. ·         You will not be afraid to be with YOURSELF. Because this is a great person you have with you. YOURSELF.
