“Give me my way or else!”

“Why won’t you just do what I say?”

“They should make a law about…”

Fear, intimidation, threats, control….powering over another human for personal gain. Selfishly thinking only about themselves.

We all have power to wield in one area of our life or another.

How are we going to use it?

Power is a form of strength, and we have been given it to affect change, to solve a problem, to make something better, to lead others in the right direction, to right wrongs.

Sometimes when we feel weak and powerless, we use our power to hurt instead of help, control instead of lead, intimidate instead of love, destroy instead of build up, power over instead of work alongside.

This is the power struggle we all wrestle with…how am I going to use my power in the current unpleasant situation I face?

I have power, and I have the power to choose wisely to do what I know is best. I will choose.
