What Do You Want NOW!!!??? part 2: Motivation and Power

• ***DEFINING WHAT I WANT***I recently browsed through one of my favorite books, "Power, Money, Fame, Sex: A User's Guide". The first chapter about Power, has a quick quiz to define whether I want direct power or indirect power.  With direct power, it is my voice, for example as a school board member, that helps pass a safe sex curriculum.  With indirect power, it is my voice, for example as a sex education teacher, that positively influences young people about HIV prevention and awareness. So, do I prefer direct power, to shape the outcome of events, to be force to be reckoned with, and to gain credit for my actions?  Or indirect power, to shape other's thoughts, to not necessarily be part of the main mix, but to still influence the outcome.  According to the quiz, I prefer indirect power.  Which is fine by me. How am I gonna get this power? Well this is where I turn to the 3 Elements Of Motivation.  
•  1. BE  CREATIVE: Use my creativity to find a  vision,  to start a goal.
•  2.BE INQUISITIVE: Love to learn everything and anything.   
• 3. BE FEARLESS: Have the courage to overcome failure to bounce back.   

 ***THE MORE YOU USE THE POWER WITHIN YOU, THE MORE POWER YOU WILL DRAW THROUGH YOU***  According to the Laws Of Attraction, the more you give, the more you will receive. If I want POWER,  I must be POWER. ***WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH IT?*** I plan to use my superpowers for the good of mankind.  I  sure as hell hope that I don't fall for the trappings of impunity, running around like my ass can get away with anything.  Elizabeth Taylor used her power to make sure, by contract, that she didn't have to work during her period.  On the other hand, Hilary Clinton made sure her office was in the West Wing of the White House, instead of the East Wing, where the First Ladies traditionally set up shop.  Kimora Lee Simmons,  made her real estate agent find a new Los Angeles home in 3 days. Mostly, I want to reward my friends and family and bumrush my enemies. Maybe pull an Oprah or two, and start a school for young urban girls of color.  There is an organization called Girls For A Change that I would LOVED to be a part of.
