Simple Steps To Power Life And Respect

Notice your life. How often have you been getting the short end of the stick lately? How do your friends and co-workers perceive you? Does your opinion matter to them at all? Do you have any control of them, let alone yourself? Few people want to realize that they have the potential for power, as that would be admitting that they do not have any. Even less people are daring enough to look for power, or make the changes required to gain it.

What is it that you generally want out of life? Wealth? Prosperity? Happiness? Respect? All of this?

Power achieves every goal, and every human is entitled the right to compete for it.

Power is a broad term and can be defined as many things. Political standing, affiliations,,job position, etc. A feasible definition for what I will define as power is "the ability to influence others".

With this in mind, the logic behind attaining power is simple: People control your world. Power controls people. Therefore, with power You can control your world.

Many are afraid of power,and more want to be ignorant of it. You need to decide for yourself "Am I here just to exist? Or to win?" It takes a pair to ask yourself these questions, and tough spirit to carry out the answer: To win.

The beginnings of power radiate from you as a person. The way you speak, act, look, and respond to stimuli affect others perception of you. When people feel that you are of high standing, interesting, or worth being around, they will go out of their way to spend time with you and will want to be associated with you. This is the process of creating your many connections, the base of all power.

The following steps will set you on the path to achieving your potential power.

Verbal power is a paradox. What you say is extremely important, yet saying too much can quickly undo your image. Regardless of how smart you are- or think you are, the more you talk, the dumber you sound. As also is the nature of how much personal information you share with others. If you tell people about your problems at home or with relationships, you will seem imperfect and lose their respect, no longer making them want to associate with you.

Actions speak louder than words. If you had talked the talk, it is your reputation's best interest to walk the walk. Failure in doing so repeatedly will destroy you image. Your passive actions are another important aspect of power and are noticed by everyone, even if you do not notice them yourself. It is important to quickly take notice and change for the better. Changing your demeanor ever so slightly can have the most profound impact on people's opinion of you. This has been passed on by common sense and proven by science. Simple outward actions such as standing straight, chest out, and chin up, all have a substantial effect on the level of confidence you convey. There have been various scientific studies on the topic of which you can find, on how different postures affect an audience's perception of your authority and attractiveness, where chins turned slightly up had a tremendous positive reaction. Perhaps this is also the reason girls find taller men attractive, since from their perspective(if they were shorter), the man would look like his chin was up.

Always looking great is important, both to how you feel, and what others think of you. Failing to do so can be detrimental to your image, as a person's first impression of you will often affect their decisions the entire length of your relationship with them. This applies to both work and personal relationships. Looking good stems from your health, how you act, and then is intensified or negated by what you wear. This is easy, as many workplaces and social events have dress codes that are simple to follow. Just dress well. Finding the right look is up to you, as that itself is a broad topic(and this hub was not made for that purpose). There has been scientific research(this is where our taxes go) on what colors make people seem most attractive. It has been found that the color red has positive effects on both men and woman. In men, it exudes confidence, while in women, a greater sense of beauty. Bottom line: Red looks great on you.

On the same note of attractiveness: You must know of or have seen some fat people. Perhaps you are fat. Does this aspect make them seem particularly powerful?(Sumo wrestlers exempt from this example) A key to looking great and feeling great is fitness. The key to power is control. When a man or woman is fit, you could say that they are in control of their body. This includes looking young and stress free(stress comes from lack of control). When they are both fit and successful, they are seen as attractive and foremost ideal, making them more powerful since more people want to associate themselves with them. Though not always true, a general and sometimes inconvenient rule is "Attractiveness is proportional to potential power".

In the heat of debate or battle, true leaders have an unchanging face. They are always plotting and getting ahead, but they must do it without giving away a single hint or emotion pertaining to what they are thinking. Master your emotions, and don't give your opposition the reactions they want. Frustration, anger, and sorrow can be seen as signs of weakness and can ruin your image or be used to degrade you. In response to negative stimuli, no matter how large, a calm aura will exude confidence and increase the morale of your friends, had they suffered as well.

Patience is key, when one wants to appear truly powerful. Time is the one resource every man is running out of, and a resource that money cannot buy. Patience gives the impression that you have unlimited time, and creates the illusion that you are higher and more powerful than ordinary men.

You now have the tools for gaining power. To not use them would be a crime. The extent to which you follow though with these rules is up to you. With proper application, you will soon have many more allies and connections, willing to do work for you, as well as the favor of your superiors, allowing you to effectively control your circumstances. It is very easy to lose your sense of morals at this point, but that is entirely up to your discretion. Anything you want can be yours. Know the right people, pull the rights strings- With power it's possible.
