Patience and Power

I have been thinking a lot lately about power. I don't have any and acknowledging that has made my blood pressure drop 30 points. I know it makes me sound like a real wimp but really the real power comes from knowing you do not have any. Patience is where it feels good to live. Patience is what I can wear but power/control almost always involves what we want someone else wear. If you ever tried to dress a squirming 2 year old who does not want to be dressed you get the picture. In the world of work we must at times have control and direct some situations but I think I'll keep working on ways to give others choices and let them dress themselves.
