You Have the Power
Personal power and Personal Currency by Apollo Ubani If a person has dignity, has retained his or her dignity, and/or has not had it taken away or traded it for something in this world then that person has some degree of “personal power.” Personal power is critical to activism, change, and participation. Although personal power is related to self esteem and confidence it is separate and not necessarily dependent on either. Personal power is the individual sense of worth, command of what he or she feels, believes, knows to be “right”, and the request for what is right when he or she exercises it. It is one’s ability to express, reject, or demand something. It is ones individual drive and behavior to seek recognition, remedy, recompense, reconciliation, remittance, and respect. Everyone has or had it in our lives and the ones of us that have not been beaten down by life still have it. We’ve had it since the first act of defiance as a toddler. It is a key component of who you are and essential to your acts of honor, sacrifice, valor, challenge, courage, and activism. One’s personal currency is what we trade on to acquire the results and solutions that we seek. It is directly tied to one’s honesty, integrity, believability, and one’s history and record thereof, both by word and deed. Personal power is the foundation of personal currency and what drives it or weakens it. One’s personal currency is not to be taken lightly or traded frivolously. Word is bond. No word, no bond; No personal currency, no personal power. No personal power, no personal currency.
