Empowerment is a process that challenges our assumptions about the way things are and can be. It challenges our basic assumptions about power, helping, achieving, and succeeding.
Lao Tzu said: “When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”
“Fear is excitement without the breath.” So take a breath, and then take the next step…then before you know it, you will have created your masterpiece; your dream comes true.
Here are three D's to remember which consist of:-
Desire and
Determination to realize
Dreams
Alice Walker wrote: “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.”
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE:
To empower myself means that I step into my own magnificence and brilliance. That I let my inner light shine in a large way. That I am myself, authentically, with love for all and no worry for how another perceives me and no need to compare, only to be exactly who I am, in pure acceptance and embodiment of me, my soul in this life. It means that I embrace my gifts. I don’t hide them. I don’t pretend that I am not all that I am. I don’t take my strengths and downplay them. Instead I say “Yes I am all that and more,” in my heart in a quiet way. Knowing that I was gifted with purpose and a willingness to live that purpose. Empowering myself means that I Play A Bigger Game. I may feel unsure, a bit uncomfortable and challenged each time I step into a larger playing field of life; however I continue to step into a grander version of myself, knowing that all is well, and allowing myself to become a tool for a higher purpose.
Personal empowerment allows us all to follow the dreams that are not within our means now (but will be!).
Imagine your life as you want it – as though it were happening now. Cut out pictures (from magazines and other sources) to make your vision stronger and a reality. Practice positive mental rehearsal before every important event. Continually feed your mind with great people, thoughts and pictures.
Edith Armstrong said “I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, and abundance. Then, whenever doubt, anxiety, or fears try to call me, they will keep getting a busy signal-and soon they’ll forget my number.”
Dare to Dream! And dare to make those dreams your reality. Remember -- Don’t try so hard to fit it when you were born to stand out.
