Five Ways to Develop Power in Your Life

Everyone wants power, right? Power opens doors, gives you prestige, makes life go smoother.

Well, not so fast.?

Everyone may think they want power, but it’s not going to just jump on your lap, climb up your shoulders and sit there as you go through life.?

What is Power?

Power is the ability to assert yourself, put yourself out there. It’s the ability to work a roomful of people with unique personalities. It’s the ability to see something you want-and then go after it.?

Power is the door that you open, or the arm that you use, to reach out to grab that something.?

Actually, Not Everyone Wants Power?

For instance, there are people who don’t want to assert themselves, don’t want to work that room or push open that door. You know that saying, “money can’t buy happiness?” Well, do the people who say that believe it-or are they saying it because they don’t have money, don’t think they ever will and want to tell themselves they’re okay with that?

Same thing with power. They may be lazy, or they may be afraid that if they get power, someone will take it from them.

How Do You Get Power??

There are a few ways:

Helping someone

Helping a co-worker with a project or a loved one looking for support gives you satisfaction. You can be like a battery, a source of energy for those around you.?

Accomplishments - checking a box.?

Letting people know you will get things done at work, around the house, in your community gets you power.

Being desired

People following you and imitating you will give you power.?

Control

Men feel powerful when they control an expensive car. They also feel powerful when they control their emotions, their work life and their home life.?

Creation

Men make things. Like babies (with the help of their wives, of course). They also build things like decks and swing sets. Being creative is being powerful.

Masculinity is hard!
