POW #3 - PUNCH

What's your SUPERPOWER that helps you OVERCOME Challenges?

Have you tried the POWER PUNCH? Sometimes, you feel the urge to react like Rocky Balboa, speed punching the air while running through the streets of Philadelphia as he gears up for the fight of the century. Similarly, you've prepared to confront your own fight, the Goliaths, which is how I describe the challenges I've encountered in life! The inner drive is fired up, ready to break through the toughest challenges.

When I think of the Power Punch I'm not referring to the physical action, which can be very painful! but it's that expression to PUNCH through what I describe as the 3-Ds:

• Disbeliefs

• Doubts

• Despairs

I'm sure we've all encountered the 3-Ds at some stage in our lives, where it's difficult to find the positive in the most challenging situations, and the easiest choice seems to be "retreat retreat retreat!". Disbelief is lack of faith or the inability to accept that something is real; Doubt is not being certain about something whether it is true or not; Despair is the feeling that there is no hope and there is nothing you can do to improve.

It's time to counteract the 3-Ds with a change in mindset and to Power Punch through with a new sense of power that can only come from YOU making a choice to:

• Be-Lieve in Yourself!

• Be-Assured that you got this!

• Be-Resilient!

BE means to exist, so during our time on earth, we should aim to BE the best version of ourselves. When facing major challenges, remember to unleash your Power Punch. Don't wait for an invitation, don't seek approval, and don't let things escalate; trust your instincts and deliver that powerful strike. BE empowered to break the silence and ensure your voice is heard.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your boss or a colleague confronts you, and you sense something is off, yet you stand there in disbelief, doubting your ability to speak up for what's right? You might feel a wave of despair, feeling inadequate to address the issue because you don't want to hurt their feelings or become a burden, so you choose to stay silent and let it go. This is where the power punch within you starts to awaken, causing a rumbling sensation. When this occurs, you feel compelled to step forward with courage and strength to voice your thoughts.

The Power Punch enables you to stand tall and firm to BE!
