Where do you get your POWER?

It is in quiet solitude I get my energy.

I did a Myers Briggs personality test several years ago and confirmed what I already knew - that I was an introvert.  But the more I read about introverts, the more I realised that this does not mean that I am not social, or that I am afraid of my own shadow let alone other people.  No, not at all.  Part of being an introvert meant that you would get your energy from times spent alone or in quiet solitude.

I am a very social person, and really enjoy the company of others.  I love bouncing things off other people, be that concepts, ideas or even jokes.  I also love spending time with my other half, Michael. We are joined at the hip most of the time.  But I love to have moments when there is no tv, no music, no conversation - just the quiet solitude of being alone - this is where I do my thinking, this is where I refresh from the worries of the world, this is where I re-energise and sort out what's in my head - the good from the bad, and can centre myself and be ready to face the world for another day.

So, where do you get your power?

So, how about power?  Power is slightly different to energy.  Energy is the physical and mental ability to carry on and get something done.  Power is more about where you get your inner motivation from.

I don't have all the answers.  This is still something I am figuring out what is true for me.  But I do know what I have learned from successful business men and women, from inspiring figures in our society, and from anyone achieving their goals:

Motivation comes from doing what you are passionate about.

So, I guess the question is - What Inspires you?  What are you Passionate about?
