Power= Work. Hassle. Maybe stress.
When one gives away power, for instance in the family business we run, in family life, or in something one is organizing, one has less responsibility, less say in things AND/ BUT more leisure. More free time.
One of the ironies of life. Power (and money) are behind a lot of what people strive for, but when we can give it away, or make ourselves give it away, we have more leisure, free time, freedom, joy.
