Power and influence: things that should be obtained not for means of greed, nor pride, nor ego, but rather to ensure that in the right moment, when your wisdom and benevolence are required to keep humanity strong and united, you can deliver and orchestrate others toward the greater good.

A.J. Darkholme
About This Quote

We all need power and influence. It’s a key part of life, but how we obtain it is important. In our pursuit of power and influence, we must always work within the natural order of things. That is, we must not seek to rise above the system or bend it to our will, nor should we seek a position of power or influence simply because we want to feel powerful and influential. Rather, the way to achieve power and influence is by using whatever opportunities arise to best serve others at a time when they need your wisdom and benevolence to keep humanity strong and united.
