Steps To Success: I Want More Out Of Life Part -1

Steps to success

What is personal power or empowerment?

Power is a fascinating and often misunderstood concept, read on to find out more...


Hey Lifestyler,

Thanks for your time, I appreciate you.

In general, power involves the capacity to cause something to happen, and effect change.

Some people often misunderstand and mistake force with power.

OK. So really...what is personal power?

And more importantly what are the dangers of using force instead of power?

Now, let me ask you a two prong question: "Why do you think personal power will benefit you and why is it necessary to develop being powerful?"

Interesting, isn't it?

Well, allow me to entertain this thought and discuss why it's not about force, pushing or fighting.

Many people assume that to accomplish anything meaningful requires going into battle. In other words, it demands pushing yourself or using force.

Force is energy and it can certainly prove to be an effective tool, especially in the short run.

Having said that, applying force isn't going to allow you to flow because it is distorted thinking to believe that force is required.

Look, it is as simple as that...

It is true that force, whether used in relationships, or in a work situation or even when attempting change yourself can work for a time, and in fact work quite well.

Here's the difference...force creates counter force and then locks you in when these two forces collide.

In work or relationships, the counter force generally takes the form of resistance.

This manifests into disagreements or outright hostility, cloaked in gossip, passive aggressive acts and quiet resistance.

Using this kind of forcefulness is counter productive because force is the stubborn side of the personality that wants what it wants when it wants it and isn't happy about not getting its way.

The problem is that results of these actions (based on force) leavethe user in a mental state of vulnerability, because people never feel satisfied, even if they win, there is guilt associated with it.

No doubt about it, this is due to the high emotional costs that comes with the 'win'...

Let's break this down and delve a little deeper and understand the reason why people choose to use 'brute' force:
  • Simply, it works, it's easy and indeed effective
  • Some people find it easier to hit and punch when they want something
  • Instead of using words to express themselves, they use force
  • Forceful people feel that the ends justify the means
  • Force accomplished their mission or objective
  • Force gives people the power or permission to yell
  • Be annoyed
  • Use other forceful measures in the name of what they want

In other words"mission accomplished"...

Think about it and compare the end results.

Stay tuned for Part-2, talk with you soon.
