How to become a power magnet – to influence people, accomplish big dreams, create our future.
It is the most fundamental fact – in order to accomplish anything meaningfully significant in our life like success, happiness, relationship, contentment - we need the co-operation, help, support of others.
People only support you if you are powerful enough or in other word worthy enough.
There are basically two types of power
- I.The Official Power Giving Us the following powers
- 1. Legitimate
- 2. Authoritative
- 3. Coercive
- 4. Positional
- II.The un-official-power – the power to influence without any official authority and position – this is the power to influence others and impact others in the society, the humanity our family
Most of us have been brought up to believe that the power comes from our having – position, wealth, professional-success, fame, physical-strength, military might and political control etc. etc.
Having and using the authoritative power constructively for positive objectives can lead to great results.
But even the person who does not have any legitimate power can create huge impact – world is full of such people who impacted the mankind in big ways.
In this article we are talking about how to identify, create, build and how to use the personal-power-without-authority.
The degree and the influence-level of our impact depends on the level of our harnessing and practicing of our own personal-power
10 basic understanding about POWER
- 1. People crave for power because it gives them delusion of control – because many of us are sacred of having no control in life.
- 2. The famous saying - the power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely – is totally true.
- 3. Addiction to power and having the authoritative power can be very intoxicating - Dictators become drunk and seemingly blind on powers.
- 4. All of us are powerful.
- 5. But very few of us believe that we are powerful internally and harness it for greatest use.
- 6. Our lives are made up of unending negotiations in every area of life – this belief decides the winner and losers everywhere in life.
- 7. If we perceive, believe and behave as if we do not have any power – then our existence becomes very pathetic.
- 8. Paradoxically - those who understand that there is no control are the people who wield maximum power.
- 9. That is why - if instead of chasing power, success, fame - we have to focus to taking actions towards a larger-than-life-dream of ours.
- 10.All of us can attain great things in our lives - when we are acting on positively-powerful-values – we cultivate, nurture and harness our personal power – by acting within our area of control.
