We certainly don't feel powerful at times. {{Being powerful means shifting our minds away from our troubles and into solution-thinking.}} You can access amazing inner-strengths by focusing on solutions rather than problems. But people often only focus and meditate on their problems, fears, worries and anxieties; playing out endless negative scenarios in their minds. This effectively disables their mind's innately brilliant problem-solving ability. {{If you relax your mind, it can begin working for you.}} {{Your total intelligence knows how to accomplish astounding feats. You just need a clear objective. Get clear. You will surprise yourself!}} The answer to your problems is to move forward and believe in yourself, which can seem like a risk, but it's not — it's trust. Stretching, reaching and fully embracing your problems head-on will activate your untapped abilities. {{You would not believe what skill, power and ability your total intelligence possesses until you lose your balance.}} {{So stretch! Reach for it. Like falling down stairs, where your inner-genius takes over, and you somehow impossibly catch your balance — your instincts are ready to serve you.}} But y{Y{ou have to put yourself at risk to activate your instinctual genius.}} **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
