INTRODUCTION
To be able to choose something and achieve it, one must know what it looks like. I recommend that you print this (or paste it into your own document) and then check off those you choose to be or do.
This is not about power "out there", though empowered people tend to be powerful. It is really about power of self and power over self. They develop their "self", who they are as a human being and doing what supports "self".
Circle what you would like to be true of you, then prioritize the top 5, and work on them in that order until the highest impact one is finished, before going on to the next one. Although there are quite a few line items below, many of them are co-related, so that if you work on one, the others will automatically be elevated.
