People with Charisma... What makes them special? Sometimes I feel like I have a taste of it and most other times I feel like an Average Joe... When sitting back and dwelling on it I've come up with this theory; These people have more energy in them... I know it sounds almost too simplistic but it does explain the energy level of charismatic people who are successful (not saying successful in positive things only, successful in obtaining what they want and/or need).
What are the possibilities of this type of scenario? Look at Hitler.. I know it's not the best choice to start off but there really is a point to me using him as my first example; Hitler was for all intents and purposes a "NERD"... The Mustache, the chip on his shoulder, the unresolved issues in that man's head, everything about the man - Not someone I'd have picked to be charismatic at first glance, but...he had something! He had something that's not yet quantifiable in science or math (that I know of, and I'm by no means good at or highly educated in either discipline) so how do we figure out what he had? Charisma was obviously a big part of it.. The man could speak in public forums and have people eating out of his hand... I don't get it but I understand that the people were all looking for something to believe in and, well, here came Hitler and the rest was history (sound familiar? What about Jesus? A time when people were looking for purpose, looking for meaning and along comes a very influential figure, a charismatic man, who most people want to believe in and, like most of us, throw all of our eggs in that one basket and run with it)..
Anyhow, the mystery itself is where did this Charisma come from? Is it something developed while growing up? I doubt that as some of these Charismatic types seemed to have no so good childhoods (and we all know we develop most of what we are/know in the first 9 to 12 years of life, the most important time) they still develop this Charisma... You'd think that developing a trait this powerful would take some type of positive development, then again... Look at Hitler... Somehow he developed it and grew up feeling shunned and hating just about everyone around him (and wanted to be an artist).. Did that hatred, that angst fuel the building process? I guess it could... I've carried grudges and they've consumed me at those times but never gave me extra charisma (if anything it made me less appealing to be around).. So, what's the real difference here?I'm sure there are a million things we could analyze but we'd still come up with a big question mark... How did it all happen? Like any other theory out there for anything it's still just a theory and, like anyone else who's had a theory on anything, I like mine:
We're born with a certain amount of energy (call it soul or whatever, whatever makes our hearts beat and keeps up going) and I think that some have more energy or, better yet, have a more developed soul which, in turn, has an effect on their physical being....
Maybe, maybe not... It's just an opinion...
