Want to know the ultimate paradox of power?
The people who need it least get it most.
This isn't about becoming indifferent. It's about becoming sufficient. When you're whole, resourced, and clear on your value, power stops being something you chase and starts being something you channel.
Think about the most influential person you know. Chances are, they: - Seem busy but never rushed - Care deeply but aren't desperate - Share credit freely because they don't need it - Say no easily because their yes means something - Show weakness because they're fundamentally strong
They've mastered the power paradox: By needing nothing from anyone, they become valuable to everyone.
