Unveiling The Core Of Power
Exploring the Essence of Influence is a fascinating journey into the profound world of personal development. Influence transcends the basic notion of persuading others; it delves into understanding the fundamental principles that empower individuals to inspire, guide, and lead with efficacy.
By refining your influential abilities, you can create a significant impact in both your personal and professional spheres. Consider influential figures like Nelson Mandela, whose resilience and vision for equality inspired a nation, or Oprah Winfrey, whose empathetic communication has motivated millions around the globe. These leaders exemplify how influence can be wielded to foster meaningful change and inspire countless individuals.
A compelling statistic from the Carnegie Institute of Technology reveals that a staggering 85% of financial success is attributed to skills in human engineering, including communication, leadership, and influence, while a mere 15% is due to technical expertise. This statistic underscores the critical importance of mastering influence in our interconnected world. As technology evolves and workplaces become more collaborative, the ability to effectively communicate and connect with others becomes increasingly vital. This highlights why honing your influence is not just beneficial but essential for thriving in today's dynamic environment.
For those eager to explore this topic further, there is a wealth of insights to uncover. By delving deeper into the art and science of influence, you can unlock the potential to motivate and lead with authenticity and purpose. For more insights, enrich your understanding with #FrizeMedia

Power: If power begins in controlling something, then are we powerless prior to controlling? Yes and no. We have potential, which is a power in itself, but unused and un-directed potential is NOTHING. Are we powerless prior to controlling? I would say we are not powerless, but ignorant (Which is a version of powerlessness.) We don't know that we have power and don't know how to test it.
Power - Our Thoughts Are Powerful
The end of all powerlessness begins with awareness. A Samurai Warrior would learn this by practicing a meditation of sitting on the top of a mountain with his arm extended and sword pointing skyward in a position ready to fall. He would meditate on that fleeting moment when a balanced piece of metal would turn into an unpredictable falling/killing weapon.
His awareness was on the potential of the weapon. When he learned that then he could study the application of it's power.

To Know. To Will. To Dare. To Keep Silent. These were the powers of the Sphinx and they remain dormant in all of us to one degree or another. You don't know what you don't know.
Thus you must seek knowledge in whatever realm you wish to control. You must Will and Dare to use that knowledge. To keep silent. This is where power turns to craft. It is the most subtle application of power. So subtle it may seem that things are all happening in your favor when in fact they happen by your design. A bolder resting precariously on a cliff, a bow string pulled tight, these have a quality of potential force, What the Chinese strategist, Sun Tsu, called "shih".
With just the right action and the force is unleashed. The silent art of power and control is to see the potential force in everything and arrange it so that, if released, it works in your favor. The keys to this power are first to know what you want far into the future and to know it in rich and glorious detail. The next step is to develop a precise and detailed plan to your goal and to meditate upon it day in and day out. By having this constantly on your mind you will function with the greatest efficiency toward your goal.
You will see the world about and know "This action will lead me to my goal. This action will lead me nowhere." This task that is unnatural for most of us because of our natural tendency to focus on the thoughts of the present and to respond to the urgency at hand. To master this skill we must alter our thinking and see every action that we perform as an act of manipulating "shih". To do this is the height of Sphinx-like power and makes mere men to seem magical as if they controlled the forces of nature.
