Motivation
We Are Designed for Power and Freedom
Human beings are not meant to live small, constrained lives, we are biologically and psychologically wired for power and freedom. This drive manifests in our need for autonomy, mastery, and self-expression. When we embrace this truth, we unlock our full potential and live more fulfilling, impactful lives.
What Does It Mean to Be Designed for Power and Freedom?
1. Power – The ability to influence our environment, shape our destiny, and overcome challenges.
- Example: An entrepreneur builds a business from scratch, creating opportunities for themselves and others.
- Example: A student masters a difficult skill (like coding or public speaking), gaining confidence and control over their future.
2. Freedom – The capacity to make choices without undue restriction, whether financially, socially, or mentally.
- Example: Someone achieves financial independence, allowing them to travel, pursue passions, or leave an unfulfilling job.
- Example: A person breaks free from societal expectations, choosing an unconventional career path that aligns with their values.
How Society Limits Power & Freedom (And How to Reclaim It)
Many systems (educational, corporate, societal) condition people to follow rules, seek approval, and avoid risk, suppressing our innate drive for power and freedom.
- The 9-to-5 Trap: Trading time for money in a rigid job can feel secure but often limits growth and autonomy.
- Social Conformity: Fear of judgment keeps people from pursuing bold goals (starting a business, traveling solo, expressing controversial opinions).
How to Live with Power & Freedom
- Develop Marketable Skills (Power): Learn high-value abilities (negotiation, leadership, investing) to increase your influence.
- Build Multiple Income Streams (Freedom): Reduce dependency on a single employer through side hustles, investments, or passive income.
- Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Reject the idea that you must follow a predetermined path—create your own.
- Embrace Discomfort: Growth happens outside comfort zones. Take calculated risks to expand your possibilities.
Real-Life Examples of Power & Freedom in Action
- Folorunsho Alakija (Nigeria) – From secretary to Africa’s richest self-made woman, dominating fashion, oil, and philanthropy.
- Oprah Winfrey: Overcame poverty and societal barriers to build a media empire, gaining both influence and personal freedom.
- Digital Nomads: Professionals who leverage remote work to travel the world, designing life on their terms.
Final Thought
You are not meant to be a cog in the machine. Power and freedom are your birthright—claim them by taking intentional action, mastering your craft, and refusing to settle for a life of limitation. The question is: What will you do with yours?
How Great Is The Strength Of Your Belief?
Motivation :Be careful what you believe because that is what you will experience. Your belief system is a mechanism which is uniquely yours. It is powered by your desire and controlled by your thoughts and actions. In other words, your success is measured by the strength of your belief. What is it that you desire? Often people do not have a clue what it is they want, they just know what they do not want.
Now is a good time to evaluate your goals and determine the end result you want to achieve. Put your goals in writing and place them where you can see them throughout the day. Read them frequently to keep them fresh on your mind.
• Be inquisitive. Research and learn as much as you can on how you can achieve your goal. Use all possible resources such as books, downloads, CDs, courses and people and the internet. Yes, people. Talk to as many people as possible who are already successful in what you want to achieve. Ask, ask and ask some more about what they did to reach success. Do not limit your contacts to only the people you already know.
Introduce yourself by phone or mail, explain your purpose for contacting them and ask for a tip. The worst thing that can happen is that they ignore you. The best thing that can happen is that they become your mentor and offer support and encouragement. Chances are you will receive at least one great tip from many of the people you contact. This method is the least expensive and most rewarding.

• Be unique. Next, take the ideas you learn, embellish them and come up with your own creative process. Think of how you can approach your goal in a way that no one else has. Dare to be different. Don’t be afraid to take risks. What do you have to loose? Write out a list showing the worst things that could happen and then list all of the best possible outcomes. Always maintain your concentration on your desired result.
• Be better than your competition. When you were a child and saw your older siblings or friends riding a bike (without training wheels), you didn’t look at their scraped knees and elbows and say, “Whoa, I could get hurt doing that.” Instead, you begged to try it for yourself. With a great deal of practice and often pain, you gradually learned how to maintain your balance.
Before long you were trying to “out do” your friends with your speed or fancy tricks. When you fell, you would get back on and try again with even greater determination. From your very first effort, you believed in your mind that if you got back on, you would eventually learn to ride. I bet you even knew in your mind you would be the best in the neighborhood, in your school, in the county, in the world!
• Be positive. If you see obstacles before you, then you will also only see problems. If you have hesitations that your plan will not work, then it will not work. If you are influenced by the power of negative people, then you will never be any better than they are. Believe in yourself and what you are capable of achieving. When your desire to succeed is stronger than the pain, fear or frustration of failing, there is no turning back. I challenge you to view your goals just like you did when you were a child before you learned about self doubt and negative criticism. Remember, anything is possible as long as you believe. Make a commitment that you will not let anything or anyone, including yourself stand in your way of reaching your goals.
