Power and Influence

This is tricky because power and manipulation can be used in bad ways if you are not careful. It is best to be aware of what those real issues are and how we are wanting things done. Always ask yourself what are my choices? Rather than trying to "fix" we should except and encourage. People do change when they want to and on their own. Help is there to guide them if they need it. I thought that was so insightful about what the brotheren do each week and all that go into one meeting. It isn't a bad idea to model marriage issues and concerns after what they do. I loved the example between a compromise and a consenses. It helps me to be more in tune with what we are trying to accomplish. And the idea of after all is said and done to look forward to just love and appreciation towards the one you love most. Power and influence can always be used to help benefit others if we choose for it to do so.
