Techniques to enhance personal power are very popular, but beware: Playing with personal power is like playing with fire. If you don't use it wisely and take proper precautions, people could get hurt. The best place to start on wise use of personal power is to put it in perspective. All people are already powerful, and all people are capable of abusing power. Therefore, it is not so important to blindly increase our power, which tends to SEPARATE us from others. Rather, we should concentrate on learning how to use our power to support our true, heartfelt goals in life. For most people, these include CONNECTING with others and relating harmoniously.
