What is personal power? To me, it is having and exuding confidence and joy, following your heart, and believing in success. It is going into each moment with an open heart and trust in the Universe. It is staying centered in the face of chaos, staying loving in the face of anger, and staying joyous in the face of fear. It is the courage to stand up for yourself and follow your heart and not to let the people or circumstances in your life push you into doing things that you don't want to do.

We access our personal power and strength when we go into each day with the intention of living with purpose and zest for life. We increase our personal power when we stay present. We maintain it by keeping an open heart and staying centered.

Living in your power is to take ownership for everything in your life. It is to understand that the outer world is a mirror of your inner world. The circumstances in your physical reality are a manifestation of your thoughts and feelings- the thoughts and feelings come first, not the other way around. If you are blaming others for how you feel or saying you would feel good if certain circumstances weren't in your life, then you aren't in your power. Instead, you are giving away your power by letting the outside world dictate your emotions. Take your power back! You are the creator of your reality. Start practicing living the life you want to live. Embrace the fact that you can create the life of your dreams!

Be yourself. Don't apologize for who you are. Embrace life and all that it brings, and just ride the wave. When you approach each moment with love, love will come back to you. If you can practice living in love, you will automatically be in your personal power and you can begin to live a life of more joy, love and abundance!

Begin today by living a more powerful life. Practice playing at a level 10! And remember, it's just practice. Forgive yourself when you don't feel like you are doing your best, and start fresh in the present moment.

• Always try to do your best in whatever you are doing.
• Own your power and acknowledge that you have chosen every circumstance in your life, and accept what you have chosen.
• Keep your word and fulfill your commitments.
• Trust the Universe to provide what you need exactly when you need it.
• Give it over to your Higher Self and trust that it will get taken care of! (You may need to establish a relationship with your Higher Self before you can do this!)
• Stay present in the moment
• Set the intention each morning to live your life with purpose!
