The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.

Alice Walker

The ability to exercise self-control

To gain dominance over your emotions and channel them for the right purpose determines your power

Over situations, over relationships, our your life….

Sure, there comes a time when we decide to sit back and allow others to make decisions for us

But are the decisions the right one

You have a mind of your own

Your values, perceptions, culture and belief molds you

Do not expect others to understand who you are or why you make certain choices

For when you give away your power, you give away your identity, values, and everything…

So how do you gain back power?

First, know your values and stick to it

What is your personal brand?

Are you working on yourself or leaning on people’s approval?

Knowing your values, your self-worth and using them as a guide

Provides your personal brand and I would say your way of life

This is strengthened by personal reflection, education, and decisions

It is okay to say NO to actions or situations that do not suit your belief

Learn to enjoy your company,

See yourself as a unique and fun person

Build your personal brand and gradually gain your power

There is only one thing about you that people will remember about you…your legacy. Build your personal brand and establish your legacy — Chinyere OKoh
