How to Live Your Best Life in a World You Cannot Control
What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with how hard you are trying?
POWERFUL IS A RESEARCH-BACKED GUIDE TO WHO YOU WE WERE ALWAYS MEANT TO BE.
We have been given more opportunity than any generation before us.
We have worked hard to transform this opportunity into lives we feel happy and fulfilled in.
But somehow, somewhere, we haven't been able to do so.
POWERFUL makes the case that the problem is our beliefs about the world. And it offers a path for transforming these beliefs into stories of power and possibility.
Becoming
Power, as commonly understood and embodied, is agency: the ability to bring about what we want through will, competence and effort.
It also depends on the world cooperating. And the world frequently does not. Other people have their own plans. The diagnosis arrives. The thing you built comes apart for reasons that had nothing to do with you.
In those moments, we have two choices. grip harder, or give up. Toxic power or powerlessness.
POWERFUL argues for a third way to meet a life, and it does not require the world to comply. It asks instead for something we can actually build: a self that is not hooked on the need for safety, success, or other people's approval.
POWER AS AUTHENTICITY.
Power as freedom from fears and societal conditioning, and the courage it takes to trust our voice, our path, and our goodness even when there are no guarantees of safety or success.
Power as a wholehearted yes to life whatever it brings, and thus to the life we are capable of.
Drawing on her extensive research on self-esteem and self-actualization, Homaira presents her 8 step POWERFUL™ framework that will help you grow into who you need to become as you pursue the deepest longings of your heart.
POWERFUL is essential reading for anyone who is doing everything right and is left wondering why it is not enough. Who cannot point to anything wrong and cannot shake the sense that something is missing.
Who has read the books, done the work, built the confidence, and found that it helped a little - but it did not hold.
The reason is simple. You are longing for life on the other side of safety. And you haven’t yet built a self who can fully live in it.
