What Real Power Is You may find you attract followers among people in your environment today, even if you never intended to steer anyone in a particular direction. Because you are likely exuding an aura of power that can compel others to think or act a certain way, there may be nothing you can do to dissuade the individuals you encounter to ignore your influences. Yet, you may still be able to help people be all they can be today without compromising their unique identities. If you encourage everyone you meet to follow their hearts and to give all they can to those less fortunate, they will find their own way to integrate charity into their lives. Though we may feel truly powerful when we are able to influence others to adopt our way of thinking or seeing the world, true power lies in inspiring people to do something wonderful and meaningful with their lives. It can be difficult to do this because the actions we would describe as being significant may not seem as momentous to the individuals with whom we share our environments. Consequently, we should use our ability to influence others to encourage them to integrate charitable efforts into their lives in whatever way feels right to them. They may end up focusing their attention on issues that do impact us particularly strongly, but we can be sure we have done our part to spread the light of philanthropy in our spheres of influence. Your ability to impact the choices others make today will help you promote a philosophy of goodwill among your peers.
