LETTING GO OF OLD POWERS TO GAIN NEW FREEDOMS JUNIQUES SHARES HOW IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT

Letting Go of Old Power to Gain New Freedom

Rickey Johnson, the owner of Juniques Marketing and Multi-Cultural Connections, offers powerful insights on personal growth.

He explains how individuals often cling to their developed skills and areas of expertise—this becomes their "old power."

Whether it's leadership, persuasion, arguing, loving, or being passive, people constantly rely on their familiar strengths. However, to experience new freedom, they must learn to let go of this power and embrace uncertainty.

One method is to resist the urge to use their established skills in familiar situations. By deliberately choosing not to lead, argue, persuade, or remain passive, they create the opportunity for discovery.

Here's what they find:

1. Unutilized Abilities: They uncover new strengths and skills that were previously dormant.

2. Less Severity: The situation they feared may not be as severe as anticipated.

3.



Others' Empowerment: Others might step forward, discovering their own untapped potential.

4. New Freedom: They experience a newfound freedom in their actions and decisions.

Imagine it like sitting in a four-legged chair, rocking back, and relying on a table for balance.
The table is the old power.

One day, you decide not to grab the table, and despite the unsettling feeling, you fall and realize there is no major harm. You stand up, empowered by the realization that you don’t need that table anymore.

You find new ways to balance, sit, stand, and move freely.

This cycle of letting go and gaining new freedom continues, transforming old powers into new ones. Embracing this cycle allows for continuous growth and prevents stagnation.

Holding onto old powers restricts growth and keeps one from evolving in any area of life.

Is this process easy?

No. It's a journey of trust and courage.

But as Rickey Johnson advises, by taking deliberate steps and trusting the process, you can enjoy the rewards of growth and new freedoms.
