There is this idea that desire can drive power. But power can also eat desire. 

Like, you get what you want but then you don't want it anymore. That sounds dumb, let me rephrase that. 
You acquire the means (power) to do what you want, and the desire leaves you before you do anything. 

Some people don't realize they only want success for the recognition. All it takes to kill their motivation is recognition of their work before it's completed.

It can also be said that desire capture power. 
But it's turtles all way down when you start questioning desire's desire.
