I have been inspired to consider the strategies of forcing versus inviting. I invite you to similarly consider those strategies. Using power and forcing results in resistance, whereas invitation demonstrates respect.
Asking for cooperation, instead of insisting that things go a particular way may seem like the slow path. Forcing may seem initially like a faster path yet the backlash of resistance likely will prove to be ultimately slowed down with set backs. The Yoga Sutras state that a slow and steady application to a principal is the method by which we move toward gracious peace.
Which strategy appeals more to you in order to bring about the changes you desire? Invitation or Force? Ki to Happiness invites you to apply the wisdom of the Sutras to your circumstances.
