Kernaussage 1 von 7

What’s in it for me? Choose power over force to transform your world.

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Outside forces like politics, society, and the economy shape our lives, often making us feel powerless.

But what if you did have power, and this strength within you helped you create positive changes in the world? Contrary to what people believe, power doesn't rely on external manipulation; instead, it's rooted in our ability to influence and transform our experiences. And it’s accessible to all of us.

Power is not the same as force. Force might seem like a quick fix, but it's just a temporary solution, leading to undesirable consequences. Power, on the other hand, is a slow-burning fire that produces lasting results. You can use it to overcome challenges and achieve goals peacefully without any suffering or bloodshed. And you can also use it to find ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers to even the most difficult questions.

So are you ready to power up to your best life? This Blink will help you understand and harness your power correctly so you can normalize transformation, innovation and collaboration through clear choices – no matter who you are or what you do.

Boost your consciousness – anytime

To tap into our inherent power, we must first understand the role of our consciousness.

Picture your mind as a landscape with peaks and valleys. These represent different levels of consciousness. Some folks strive for the heights where love, peace, and joy are, so they are always seeking clarity and deeper understanding. Others wander in the lower regions of anger, shame, guilt, and other limiting states of mind, which hinder connections and keep them in survival mode.

Now, reimagine this landscape as a scale from 1 to 1000, with each number symbolizing a level of consciousness.

According to the author, shame, which often leads us to self-destruct, comes in at 20. Guilt, coming in at 30, makes it easy to feel undeserving of love. Fear sits at 100, causing us to feel constantly anxious and on edge. But at 200, courage emerges, prompting us to face our fears and take responsibility for our actions.

As we go higher up the scale, we find love, which beams at 500, and opens us to compassion and connection. At this level, our lives can transform for the better. And when we reach 700, we’ve passed the threshold of enlightenment, and can finally tap into the peak of human consciousness and spiritual awareness.

Individuals, communities, and even nations can impact the world positively when operating from elevated states of mind. Why? Well, the higher we are on the consciousness scale, the more we embrace our inner power and the further we move from destructive force. Consequently, we see the world more expansively, navigate life's challenges with grace and creativity, and act out positive ripple effects across reality.

So clearly, raising your consciousness level should be a top priority. But consciousness is only the start. If power is a road trip, consciousness is the car we drive to get going. And we know every car needs fuel. Time to unpack the phenomenon of intention, which is the fuel for power.

Set wise intentions

Imagine starting your day with a clear goal in mind. You know what you want to achieve, and a sense of purpose drives you. This clarity is the essence of intention, which guides our actions and shapes our reality.

When we set intentions, we take charge of our lives, focus our energy on what matters most and steer our destiny in our desired direction. Powerful intentions create ripples of positive effects across not only our reality but also the realities of those around us.

Master the art of surrender

Surrendering might sound like giving up or admitting defeat, but it's actually practice for power. It's about releasing control, trusting the flow of life, and opening ourselves to new possibilities.

In today's fast-paced world, we often cling to control, want to know what will happen next, and have everything mapped out. But life is unpredictable, and sometimes, the best way to navigate its uncertainties is to let go and trust the process.

Lead with power, not force

We all know forceful leadership when we see it. The signs are obvious: it’s always about control, coercion and manipulation. Leaders who operate from force often have a short-term focus. Think about all the villains we see in movies and real life; their whole motive tends to be to appease some secret anger, guilt or shame. It’s no wonder their actions lead to unwanted consequences, and the results of their actions often cost them their morale, trust and team cohesion.

Powerful leadership, on the other hand, is all about influence, inspiration and empowerment. Leaders who embrace power create environments where people feel valued, motivated, and engaged. Thanks to them, collaboration and innovation thrive, creating long-lasting, positive outcomes for everyone involved.

Rise above conflicts peacefully

Conflict is an inevitable part of life. Disagreements and misunderstandings will always arise between people everywhere, whether in personal relationships or global politics – because, above all, people are different and have different states of mind at any given time.

But what if conflicts don’t have to be draining all the time? What if we could transform how we approach conflict resolution by tapping into power instead of leveraging force?

Discern the truth in any situation with applied kinesiology

With great power comes great responsibility. So whether you’re a school teacher or an internationally recognized politician, you can change your environment – and the world – for the better. But you can’t wield power without truth in a world rife with false information, opinions and beliefs.

So how do you tell what is true from false? What if there were a technique that could give you the answer, all the time?

Final Summary

Power kickstarts personal growth, enables you to lead by example and resolves conflicts. But to exercise it is like standing at a crossroads. Wielding it takes a lot of self-reflection and discernment of our surroundings at all times.

By tapping into power and the states of mind that command it, we can ignite a paradigm shift that transforms our world. Cliché as it may sound, it’s true: Each of us has the power to unlock harmony and compassion in our environments.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
