Using Your Power

We've looked at power in many different ways in this blog; but because it's such an important topic, it deserves many new looks -- so let's do one of those here.

In your life, you have a great deal of power; much, much more than you probably think. You don't need money, status or political anything in order to have power.


Everytime you engage another person -- whoever they are and whoever you are -- you are entering a power zone.

This is where you internally decide how to engage the other person. Will you do so politely? Will you do so openly? Will you avoid or refuse to react to the other person's misuse of their power? For example, perhaps someone has been rude to you -- or something negative like that.

You STILL have your power. Will you misuse it the way that they are?

Don't let other people choose how you use your power; because you are answerable, in the final sense, to yourself; not to the other person.

Use your power very wisely.
