Same thing in Nietzsche's language. Power is not confined to stereotypical manifestations like social power, physical strength, etc. "Power" in Nietzsche refers to the will's domination over the world. This starts at the unconscious level, before you even have a thought — your body is already grasping for power through perception, which is itself a process of the will's attempt to dominate. We developed eyes so we could visually dominate the world, ears so we could audibly dominate it, etc. We evolved so as to dominate our environment. It is a gravitation, like love.
