We are supposed to believe, much as Dorothy was supposed to believe the Wizard, that if someone claims they are powerful that they are then, indeed, powerful. Further, we are led to believe that the more bombastic, the louder the claim, the more authentic it is.
I've come to believe that is not true. So, here are a few thoughts on the very nature of power.
A loud voice without wisdom is just a loud voice; true wisdom is so powerful it doesn't need to brag.
Power is not narcissistic; the very energy of power dictates it is not a solo sport.
Power has no need to belittle; power is so secure in it's own right that it is believable without needing to step on other people.
Power does not bully.
Power is willing to challenge itself, it is willing to be wrong for the purpose of finding the right answer.
Power is based on a belief in facts; not what is convenient to believe.
Power is focused on what is good for most; not what is beneficial for a few.
Power is generous.
Power is humble; it is self-evident.
It has no need to shout it's name.

I like this! And looks like you could exchange the word Love for the word Power in some of these statements!
