I have always understood the will to power (and the term Nietzsche used  
earlier, the desire for power, Machgelüst) as the desire to overcome others,  
to dominate them, to master them and subdue them and to liberate oneself by  
overpowering everything that stands in the way of one's desires.
==
My understanding of Nietzsche's will to power is the elemental force of  
the universe as exemplified by living things, Bergson's elan vital, the power  
of a plant to burst through the soil or a person's mental and physical 
drive  toward health and continuation.
