What are you trying to say?
That you have lost authority, that you feel that you are being devalued and that the only way you know you have power is if there's someone who submits to your power.
How about instead of thinking about power over somebody, you think about power to with somebody.
That's generative power.
That's power that creates something that invites the collaboration of others rather than the oppression of others.
This is true in your intimate relationships and this is true in society.
Yeah, that power with is such a fascinating concept because I think for so long, I guess there's been a lot of comparison.
Like you're saying, a lot of people are feeling powerless or feeling like they don't have agency or they don't have influence and control.
And then you find the easiest way to exert that control, which naturally becomes the people that are closest to you.
We almost need to find our significance again, in a way, because if we can only find our significance through controlling someone else, then that means we don't feel a sense of significance in our own being.
Or that we feel powerless.
Or that we feel powerless.
Where should our power come from?
If we want to love with and share power with, where do we find power and strength from?
I think you have the perfect title on the podcast, On Purpose.
Yeah.
Purpose is power.
It gives meaning to things.
It gives a reason for why you do things rather than just action for its own sake.
It has symbolism to it.
