ACTION, ACTION, ACTION
Powerful People Make Things Easy (Part 2)

(This article is a continuation in a series about our personal power to create the life we want)

The word power comes from the french word ‘pouvoir’ meaning - to be able. As defined in Webster's it is the ability to do; the capacity to act; capability of performing or producing.

Power is an assessment about a person’s capacity to generate action.

Action produces results.

Power is the ability to do something - to make choices, take action, and produce results.

That’s it.

I bet you can find lots of places in your life where you are powerful - where you are competent in producing results.

Perhaps like me you tend not to notice because it is easy for you.

Yet when we are in our power, there is ease.

Hmmm, I bet some of you thought that being powerful was accompanied by a lot of grunting, pushing, and struggle.

Power has ease as it is sourced from action.

Become even more powerful - expand your capacity for action - participate fully - take action - learn from the results - and take action again.
