Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking is empowerment in itself.

Power can be taken, but not given. The process of the taking

Summary

This quote suggests that power cannot be easily given to someone, but must be taken by individuals through their own actions and efforts. The act of seizing power is seen as a transformative process, as it empowers individuals and allows them to assert their authority or influence. It highlights that power is not passive, but actively acquired by those who are determined and willing to take it, implying that true empowerment comes from personal agency and the drive to establish one's own position of power.
