These are three of the most strongest powers of a human
being which when tapped and utilised rightly can shape us into who we want to
become. You can call these three - Belief power, Will or Resolve power and
Present or Being power respectively.
Let's discuss briefly about these three powers -
I can
'I can' power can also be called Belief power. What we
believe shapes our reality. Wrong beliefs are like walls we create for
ourselves and then we feel helpless victims of our own self created prison.
Right beliefs can help break these mental barriers. The most empowering way to
do it is to delete the words 'I can't' in our dictionary of life and replace it
with the most powerful words 'I can'. You see just by choosing the right words
we speak to others and to ourselves, our our life can change beyond
imagination. If you don't believe in the possibility of success and that you
can do it, it's just not going to be possible
I will
'I will' power is also called the Will or Resolve power.
Once you believe you can achieve something, you need to take it to the next
step by resolving to achieve it no matter high or low waters. That's what is
called Will power. As Benjamin Disraeli, the famous British statesman said,
"Nothing can resist a human will that will stake even it's existence on
the extent of its purpose." That means when someone resolves to "Do
or Die", then nothing can stop him.
I am
'I am' power can also be called Power of Presence or the
Power of Being. Let me explain what this 'I am' power is all about.
The difference between 'I am' power and the other two
powers, namely 'I can' and 'I will', is that those who focus on 'I can' and 'I
will' only and miss the genius of 'I am', will reach their goal but there will
be a lot of struggle going through the process of getting there. These people
believe in doing something, before you
reach your goal. But those who tap into the power of 'I am', they get to their
goal without struggle. These are the people who believe in being what you want
to become.
To give you an example. If someone wants to be happy or
peaceful and if such a person solely taps the power of 'I can' and 'I
will', he or she will eventually become
peaceful and happy but with lot of efforts but those who focus on 'I am' power,
very soon come to the conclusion that there's no need to wait, no distance to
cover, no things to achieve or in simple words, no need to struggle to get to
that level I am looking for. I am already there. I am already peaceful and
happy.
One way the mind cheats us, is by projecting into the future
what we can achieve now. So, we are always almost there - almost peaceful,
almost happy but never actually there.
The irony is that in the process of wanting to become happy,
we forget to be happy, in the process of wanting to become peaceful, we forget
to be peaceful.
You see happiness, peace and other qualities we are seeking
for is a choice we need to make.
The ultimate meaning of 'I am' comes when you realize that
'I am spiritual being'. As spiritual beings we have all the divine qualities in
us, so what is the need to achieve them when it's already there in us. The only
problem is that the mind will convince you otherwise, just don't believe it.
Remember, 'You are not your mind'. The good news is that you need not cure the
craziness of the mind, just stop identifying yourself with it.
In conclusion when you tap into the power of 'I am', you also automatically access the power of 'I can' and 'I will', there's no separate need to develop your Will power or Belief power. The root illusion from which all problems originate is our our forgetfulness of our spiritual identity. This one shift in our consciousness can literally end all our struggle once in for all.
