The Word Powerful

To be powerful is to have great force or potency or effect.However,being powerful transcends the above definition.To be powerful in essence,is to have the keys to make and unmake,or to have the final word that could influence the course of events,and yet you still choose to control yourself.This is very rare in our generation today!

As a matter of fact,there is this notion that for someone to be powerful,such person(s) has to exert authority by force.This is the old version of being powerful!You don't acquire or come into power to oppress or force it on people.You come into power to serve and show kindness.

Power influences,and absolute power corrupts absolutely!Therefore,those who have one form of power or the other or who are in a position to influence discisions or exercise authority,should be very careful and cautious so as not to be controlled by power.In fact you are really powerful,if you know how power works and how to use it effectively.

Learning to control yourself when in power does not mean you cannot exercise your authority when needed.It only means that you are aware of your present state.That is to say that you are aware of what you possess,but that what you possess is not forming the basis of your action,rather your true person becomes the focus.

Before the ascension into power,you were first a body with a soul and a spirit.That means you have the ability to think rationally,process a thought pattern,and then discern things with your spirit.So the misuse of power only exist as a result of people not engaging their mind and spirit before taking decisions.At one point or the other in life,power will be vested on you.But know that the conferment of power comes with responsibility and the ability to utilise it effectively so it yields the desired results.And when challenges comes,we don't have to be aggressive to prove a point when we can be diplomatic in our approach.

Power is not ment to control you!You are ment to control power,and before we can control power,we must first learn to control ourselves.Once this is taken care of,we can now say that we are powerful. Please note that being in power does not make one powerful.It is the ability to control yourself while in power that makes you powerful.Do you want to know how powerful you are?It's simple!Check what matters most to you.Is it the power or the lives that will be affected by the power?When you finally render answers to this quest,let the feedback,influence your decisions at all times!!#Influence#Powerful#Decision#Self-control.
