What prevents many women from reaching a position of power is fear and doubt, as Anne Sophie Dumetz outlines in her interview for the Powered By Women Summit. Fear not only of failure, but also fear of change and success. What’s unfortunate is that there will be some people who won’t understand or support you when awareness sparks a transformation in order to realize your dreams. Consider following the direction of your path to self-defined success even when others cannot completely get behind your vision. What is most important is that you will have gained yourself (and possibly find new people who will share in the full expression of who you are becoming). Embrace every part of your essence and try not to allow your desires to scare you.
A second reason why you may be feeling uncomfortable with power is your belief that you don’t deserve to be powerful and successful. Remember, you can serve others better when you are the best of yourself; and this means accepting your powerful gifts and assuming a position of responsibility to use them for the good of everyone. You have every reason to own your desires fully and design a life aligned with your true purpose. Start by developing a long-term vision and tap into your motivation in order to have a powerful and positive impact on the world.
Furthermore, one of the most common excuses (I know they might seem real) women come up with is that they lack the time, resources, or energy in order to say the big yes and trigger the activation process that will enable them to overcome their fear and fulfill their dreams. Release your sense of guilt and become committed to being 100% yourself. So in order to become a parent to your own dreams, as Anne-Sophie puts it, you need to be
- open
- mindful
- present, and
- a change maker.
This is how you can stop being a spectator of your own life.
Ready to liberate yourself from the fear to search for something different and more fulfilling and consciously set out on a mission to reconnect with your true desires, to hear yourself and what you want on a deep level? It is only through this empowerment that you can lead a life of full purpose and meaning. Ultimately, you are depriving the world of the best of yourself. Someone is waiting for you to show up in a way that only you can.
So are you okay with power?
