showing up powerfully after waking up, growing up, cleaning up and opening up will ensure that the game or battle or your mission was won every time.

In order to know what to opt into you must opt out of 90% of what comes your way.

That means you must say no in honor of the bigger yes in your life.

This is Mark Devine with the Unbital Mind Podcast. Welcome back. Thanks for joining me this week. This week I have another solo cast. So just interviewing myself here, I'm going to talk about two concepts that I've written about recently.

One is called Powering Up, and the other one is called Emitting Excellence. Let me start with Powering Up.

Now I've been thinking a lot about Power lately.

The word often has a negative connotation,

especially when used by the media, as in power projection or abuse of power.

However, what I think they really mean is force.

Force is a push or a pole, a physical action, or a movement that's meant to compel or

coerce another object or person, entity or even nation to respond.

Power, however, is the ability to act a certain way, a way that can direct or influence,

but not necessarily compel a certain response.

With that said we can see that power and force are related but they're distinct concepts.

Force can't exist without power but it can have either a negative or a positive effect.

Power, however, exists independently of force, and relies on a skill or innate attribute

to accomplish an aid, as opposed to a physical push or pull.

So let's say that though force can achieve a temporary objective good or bad, power is required to achieve sustainable and worthy goals. Without true power,

we would need to rely solely on force, like a bully, or we need to rely on hope like a dreamer.

Since here at Unbeatable Mind we don't aspire to be bullies

and we don't rely on dreaming to get things done.

That means we need to develop personal power.
