Being in a Position of Power
Explore the dance with power through introspection and stoic wisdom, learning from historical and modern leaders on staying grounded, fair, and purpose-driven amidst authority.
Have you ever been in a position of power?
Did it change you, or did you stay true to yourself?
We're all tempted by the allure of power. But with consistent introspection and a daily reminder of our values, we can maintain perspective. 💡
Consider Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor. Positioned as arguably the most powerful man during his reign, he too faced the intoxicating lure of power. But what set him apart? His journal. He frequently wrote down his introspections, grounding himself in Stoic principles.
“Just that you do the right thing. The rest doesn’t matter."
This wasn't merely a quote. It was his daily anchor, ensuring he remained centered amidst the swirling tempest of leadership.
The real power isn't just in leading; it's in empowering and lifting others.
