Not a lack of power, but feeling as though we have none. Some people have been indoctrinated to prefer a life with no agency, as it also brings no responsibility. At the other extreme, some folks have decided that they have more power than they actually do.<\/p>\n

Video games offer people a chance to experience virtual power\u2013an opportunity to feel a lack of powerlessness. Click the mouse, something happens\u2013power is in your grasp. By giving players agency, the games allow users to feel something they might be avoiding in real life.<\/p>\n

Everyone is on a spectrum. No one has absolute power, and no one is powerless. But our expectation and experience of power is always a choice.<\/p>\n

Choosing the attitude of powerlessness is self-defeating as well as self-negating. The fact that the attitude can be chosen is in itself a form of power. We can find control over our attitude and our actions, gaining priceless power as we do.<\/p>\n

No one can change everything, but everyone can change something.<\/em> If you choose to live a life with impact, it\u2019s in your control to do so.<\/p>\n
