Own your power, that how to be a go-getter. The only thing you need to do is the thing that light you up, that’s how you best help the team. This individual skill is a gift to others because when you focus on yourself and your achievements, everybody wins. Its energetically correct for you to be a bit selfish and focus on yourself. When you work on projects that spark joy for you, you active your charisma, become bubbly and the spice of life. Get big, its not right for you to shrink, fit in or be shy. Society will tell you not to focus on yourself. With Trait 34 activated in your Design Chart, don’t listen to that advice, it isn’t for you.
This trait of Self-Empowerment calls for you to be busy with your task at hand which allows you to unify the right team at the right time around the right idea and facilitate innovation in the organization. The key here is to know what the correct project for you is to be busy bee energy into, so you don’t experience frustration and exhaustion. You can discern which projects are aligned with your talents and competencies based on your gut response. It’s a simple question to ask yourself, does it interest you or not? Its either yes or no and count a maybe as a no.
This is a natural independence that interests you in achieving things on your own. What you accomplish on your own in turn empowers others to transform and elevate their pursuits. You are a powerhouse who has a magnetic aura that allows you to benefit from the law of attraction when you are on you’re A-game. This trait comes with a powerful charismatic quality that comes from you standing in your power, ready to respond to what life presents to you. Whenever you add your input into a project or walk into an interview, there will be an energy surge in the room because you are an intravenous shot of energy. When you are in a work environment where your individual, diverse value is appreciated, you experience a sense of belonging and radiate a purposeful, unstoppable powerful.
On the other hand, if you are frantically trying to make something happen, initiate or force a desired outcome, that’s a sure path towards resistance from your teammates. This power is not forceful. If working on a project or with someone else feels forced, its best to disengage as it will not be your best work. American society has conditioned us to chase after success and to make efforts to control the outcome and that only leads to self-pity after not being able to meet the high standards or expectation from others. This self-empowerment trait reminds us to trust ourselves and to look inward for guidance and not to default to yielding our authority regarding what is best for us individually to others.
Contemplations to tap into your self-empowering trait:
What step would you need to take to empower yourself?
Are you dependent on the approval of others and seek out their validation?
This week I invite you to honor what you know is true and correct for you based on what your intuition whispers to you. Give yourself permission to use your full body’s intelligence and not only rely on logical intel. Practice following your yeses and what sparks joy for you so that you can begin to learn to trust yourself again. Go be great, on purpose. On your purpose.
