What is Real Power?

January 18, 2011

How often do we come across someone today that we feel is truly powerful? Whether it is a boss, political leader or CEO, it begs the question… what is real power? Our society deems power to be “of the ego,” someone who is strong, willful, uses their influence to get their way utilizing force or fear as the vehicle. Real power is NOT ego-driven. Truly powerful people are silent, gentle souls who possess great insight, inspiration, emotional intelligence and passion. They are true teachers whom rule with a sweetness and lightness of being.  Truly powerful people know how to step aside and motivate others to be the best they can be. They know how to share the spotlight. They do not overshadow others or put out their light.

Whether you are a manager yourself or you are working under management, it is important to understand that truly powerful people are strong enough in themselves to respect you as an individual and allow you to shine. Truly powerful people give you unconditional support and strength to help you on your path. Anything less is not real power; it is ego. Be able to differentiate between the two. This is an important skill.

Find your inner power. Be true to yourself, respect yourself and those around you. Tap into that place of real power. Real power is not “of force” it is of “grace.” When you rule with real power, everyone wins.

When You Walk With Your Head Down

… you walk into walls. It’s common sense. When you’re not looking where you’re going, you’re most likely going to end up somewhere you don’t want to be. Most of us sleepwalk our way through our lives — running the mouse wheel of life. We are so busy trying to make a living that we […]

It’s Not About Making The Right Choice

… it’s about accepting the choice you’ve already made. Our life’s path is made up of choices and there are no mistakes when it comes to making choices, because there are no right or wrong choices, there are only different choices. Don’t get caught up in the choice you’ve made – make it and move on. […]

Looking Back to the Past

… is only helpful to the extent it allows you to move forward into your future.  If it doesn’t, it keeps you back. Your life is only ever in front of you, never behind you. The past can be an informative tool if we don’t get trapped in it. If you want to uncover the […]

A Mid-life Crisis

… requires a mid-course correction. A mid-life crisis can happen at any age, but the wisdom here is that the secret to healing it, is in the way we define it. Life naturally has its ups and downs, and life is constantly asking you to define who you are in relationship to it. You’re never […]

When You’re in the Flow

… everything moves with you. And when you are not, nothing works. When you are in the flow of your life – flowing downstream — everything flows along side you. When you are out of that flow – pushing upstream — things are much more difficult. How do you know the difference? Ask yourself how […]
