The real secret to personal power lies elsewhere. The difference is that one kind of power, the kind Ive just sketched, comes from what you do while the other comes from who you are. Before writing this post, I reviewed in my mind the qualities Ive observed in the most powerful people Ive met over the past thirty years, and it was astonishing how many qualities come directly from being rather than doing. Heres my list: A powerful person has built a life filled with meaning and purpose. They are able to realize their intentions. They direct their attention with efficiency and focus. Their choices benefit themselves and the people around them. From inside themselves they tap into creativity, imagination, and insight. They can feel out a situation through reliable intuition. Their accomplishments havent led to self-importance -- humility and gratitude are present in their makeup. At the end of the day life is a continuous source of joy and equanimity for them, not a battlefield of struggle and frustration. Deepak chopra
