I am a firm believer that each and every person on this planet has the personal power to create and achieve whatever measure of success they desire on an individual basis in any area of life from choosing someone to love, positive and supportive friendships, achieving optimum health and fitness, choosing the ideal career, being financially fit, to personal and spiritual growth. I have been a student of personal development for 22 years and I know that you can live life on purpose or by default, the choice is yours. Making a decision to go on vacation takes planning. Would you, after deciding to take a trip, get on a plane without knowing its destination? Why then would you not take time to creatively design every area of your life’s path?

EXERCISE YOUR PERSONAL POWER

I marvel in the fact that God has given me the tools to create my world according to my hearts desire. As I believe I receive. I will be the first to admit that I have on occasion lived life by default in certain areas of life. I have feverishly set my intentions for success in the areas of career, health & fitness, finances, education, personal and spiritual growth. When it came to romance or choosing my significant other or family planning fell way to default. The only criteria needed at that time was physical attraction and sometimes that requirement fell short. There was a time when my personal self-worth was so low that I consistently attracted relationships that mirrored what I felt about myself at the time. I can choose to not take full responsibility for my choices and place the blame on the other person for not valuing me, honoring me or respecting me in the way that I felt I should have been valued, honored and respected. However, I always examine myself by asking enough questions until I am clear as to my personal choices and not make the same mistakes over again. I did not realize how low myself-worth was until I had grown as a person and placed higher expectations and prerequisites on my perspective partners. What I learned about myself in the process of growing as a person and while introspecting was that once my personal value increased the men that I allowed into my space treated me according to how I treated myself. If you are an attractive person, you will “attract” every type. It is up to you to examine yourself, set your boundaries, your expectations, your likes and dislikes, your qualifications, etc. Choosing a mate or life partner is one of the most important decisions you will ever make in life. It is vital that you choose wisely. Please know that even under the best circumstances doesn’t automatically guarantee “a happily ever after” but your chances are much greater for success if you purposely exercise your personal power by creatively designing this area of your life.
