We may secretly want it, but we may not want the responsibility of it or the fear of what it may do to us or to others around us. Yet power is still powerful.

It might've been that car, that job, that lover, that book, or that pair of boots you wanted, but people, places, circumstances, or finances stood in your way. You could only wish and plot and plan what it would be like when you had the power to do exactly and precisely what you wanted to do. How can you use your personal power to do what you really want to do?
