Deep dives
Redefining Power
Power is often misunderstood as something associated exclusively with authority figures like CEOs and politicians, giving it a negative connotation. However, a more nuanced view reveals that power is primarily about the ability to influence one's immediate surroundings and relationships. Much of life is beyond individual control, such as health issues or chance encounters, but there remains a significant aspect where one can exert influence—mainly over personal relationships with family, colleagues, and friends. Finding even a small sense of control in these relationships is essential for well-being, as feeling powerless can lead to a primal sense of helplessness that negatively affects mental health.
