Power is a dirty word these days, since media consorts have associated power with petrol and oil, associated power with untouchable wealth and greed, associated power with selfishness and stubbornness, and even associated power with isolation. If today’s citizen wishes to remain friendly and open and honest in the eyes of their peers, they are almost encouraged to give up power and blend themselves uniformly in with everyone else.
Personal power is highly individualized and cannot be traded in for anything else. Personal power is not interchangeable with anyone else and it only benefits the person who owns it. Employees who refrain from drinking and drug abuse during the holidays or during stressful times in their private lives are using their own personal power to gain control over their circumstances. Control is something which everyone possesses at all times, but the feeling of control comes and goes. When it goes, then many people act irrationally and engage in substance abuse to gain the feeling back again. Personal power can help you gain realization of your own control before you so something irrational.
In the workplace, some employees are almost positive that they are being taken advantage of all of the time. These individuals drag morale through the mud and try the patience of everyone around them. Their victim mentalities are the opposite of personal power, and sabotage their own efforts from start to finish, every day. It is important to take personal power and develop it, building your identity and individuality. Lack of identity allows people to succumb to all types of addiction in order to make themselves feel like they are a part of something real. This is a very vague and cloudy way of living, and should be discouraged at any opportunity.
In the meantime, drug and alcohol testing fulfills its regular duty in the workplace by tagging and identifying employees who have left their identities behind and attempted to attach themselves to something which they consider permanent. We all know that drugs and alcohol are not permanent solutions, and are barely temporary solutions.
