Will to Power

Notes

Will to power is a force within us that drives us towards transcendence. It is the desire to triumph ourselves, the nature around us, and be something greater than just an animal that has basic needs. It is to avoid our Objectivity and pursue a higher goal Maslows pyramid

It also means to be "life embracing", to have a proactive attitude towards life, to feel Ownership over the events of our lives, or at least our behavior. This means to approach life with both Acceptance and Agency at the same time, to Amor Fati, and to reject feelings of Helplessness

To follow your will to power means to embrace Challenges, to have a Growth Mindset and seek improvement through difficulties in life. To overcome yourself, rather than giving yourself up to Herd Mentality
