Lately I've been thinking a lot about POWER. In my charisma class I explain the three power types:
1. Power Over
2. Power With
3. Power Within
I teach these power types with regard to how we interact with people, not in relation to objects.
All three power types can be both positive and negative. Obviously, being annoyingly optimistic and generally sunny *ahem* in disposition, I tend to focus on the postive of each.
But lately, I've been thinking of the things that we give power to...sometimes necessarily, sometimes not. The objects that I don't focus on in class.
Lately, I have been giving a lot of power to time. It has had Power Over my life in the sense that I don't feel like I have been doing a good job of managing it.
What are some other things that we give power to - is there anything in your life these days that seems to have more or less power than it should?
