Acknowledge your power

My Wednesday Wish for You: To Acknowledge Your Power

When we acknowledge and own the power we already possess, something shifts. Our outlook gets brighter. Our behavior becomes bolder. We stand taller—not out of arrogance, but out of awareness.
Step one? Acknowledge.
Acknowledge your power.
Don’t sell yourself short. Instead, make a list:
 What are you good at?
 What have you accomplished?
 What challenges have you overcome?
Then look at that list—often. Let it remind you of what you’re capable of.
If you’ve been out of the workforce raising kids, you haven’t been “doing nothing.” You’ve been managing budgets, overseeing schedules, handling logistics, navigating conflict, and developing the next generation of humans. That’s real power.
Paying bills? You’ve been managing cash flow.
Grocery shopping? You’ve been a purchasing manager handling perishable inventory.
Raising kids? You’ve executed growth and safety protocols with precision and care.
These are valuable, transferable skills—and they count. But more than that, they reveal the strength and responsibility you’ve already carried.
So what other areas of your life might be holding hidden power? What skills, achievements, or experiences have you dismissed because they didn’t come with a title or paycheck?
Today, I encourage you to look again.
Acknowledge your power.
Own it.
And let that awareness shape how you see yourself—and how you move forward.
My Wednesday wish for you is this: may you stop downplaying your power and start living from it. It’s already within you.

Are you investing the time and resources to grow personally and professionally?
