How do you define Personal Power?

I was awoken by this question (well, not literally woken up, but figuratively awoken).

Obviously, there is no right or wrong answer to this.   So, after thinking long and hard on how I would define Personal Power, I came up with this answer:  Not knowing who I am, but realizing it's okay to keep learning and understanding myself.  We as humans are ever growing, shifting, changing, etc.  And so Personal Power is acknowledging you are forever learning about yourself, and being open to that knowledge.  Power is Learning and the Knowledge you gain from that insight is truly profound.

Though Personal Power could come from anything, Personal Power may change...  It could be knowing your flaws and loving yourself despite them.  Realizing under the messy hair, frumpy clothes, and responsibilities you truly are a Super Hero to your family.  Knowing that you don't need kids, a husband/wife, tons of money, your stuff together or anything like that to define who you are as a person.  Or even:  Loving the person you are today and know that you don't have to be accountable to anyone but yourself.

What are your thoughts on this topic?  How would you define Personal Power?

Think about those questions.  Let them sink in.  You don't even need to answer them, they may be good just to keep in the back of your mind when figuring out how you are today.

Bring Power to your life by learning something new each day.
