What do Gandhi, Oprah, Hitler, Mother Teresa, Mao Tse Tung, Bono, Princess Diana, Barrack Obama, David Beckham, Nelson Mandela, Imelda Marcos and The Dalai Lama have in common?
Their differences are easy to spot. In fact, at first glance we only see what sets each of these individuals apart. Yet, each of them is just that – a single human being.
What is personal power
What sets them apart from the rest of us is little more a single decision made somewhere along the way. We can judge right or wrong, good or bad, but we cannot question the impact each of these individuals had on their own world. Out of a fierce commitment based in passion, their impact has rippled out to the point they are universally recognized for their contributions.
These people didn’t sit around dreaming up ideas or complaining about problems or talking about what others should do or planning what they might do when they had enough time or money or influence. Each one of these did something. They tried and failed and learned and tried again. They continued making decisions that brought them closer to their destination and it is their journeys we remember well.
Which one are you going to be ? What is your personal power?
