Phrasing it as power makes it sound negative. As the other comment says, it could be a sense of purpose, or having respect (which is power but in its human form), or just keeping busy. If I were a millionaire, I know I’d keep my work just to be busy. I know it because I’m a millionaire. And I certainly don’t want all those negative thoughts.
