POWER means different things to different people. However, in the context of personal development, living with Power means the ability to take on challenges we want to win but feel uncertain about, to create opportunities that we love but may seem out of reach, and to live life largely on our terms.

There are three core components that bring Power to us.

The first component is People. Either to face our biggest challenges or to grab the most exciting opportunities, we need the support of People. A helping hand can come from a family member, colleague, friend, relative, or even a shy neighbour. The stronger the bond we can create with people around us, the more power can flow to us.

The second component of the Power equation is Bravery. When a challenge or an opportunity knocks on our door, we need to be ready for them. It means having the courage to take the risks, developing a deeper understanding of the challenges, and bringing the skills, focus, and effort needed to outsmart them. Building your Bravery quotient brings that power to you.

The third component is Luck. As much as we like to control our own lives, there are powers beyond our control. For some, this is a bitter truth while for others, it could be liberation. When we can't explain why something happened, good or bad, we call it luck (or fate). The more luck we have, the better and bigger success we tend to find. The religious among us tend to believe that God influences our luck, while the rest tend to be indifferent towards it. Whatever our beliefs may be, we cannot deny or ignore the role luck plays in our lives.
