What’s the big deal about self empowerment…why would anyone care? Self empowerment acknowledges you yourself as the leading authority when it comes to your own life. Self empowerment is an inside job! You see, you are the only person you take to bed with you every night and the only person you wake up with every morning. You are the only person who you take with you every where you go 24/7/365…that makes you the leading authority of your life and of your self. What would make that important?
You know in any moment of time if all of a sudden you feel sick or if you are bothered about what someone says or does. You know in any moment of time when something doesn’t feel right and its time to make a move. You know in any moment of time if something changes within you or about you. All you have to do is become aware. That awareness opens the door to feeling self empowered.
Why would you want to be your own leading authority? Have you ever noticed how people readily give you advice on what they think you should and shouldn’t do to resolve your problems? You see, those people may feel it’s easy for you to do what they suggest, but they are not in your shoes; they don’t know all your fears or all your failures or all your bothers; they have not walked the life you have nor can they. You are the one who can know how the people, things or situations link together giving you your learning and growing opportunities. You are with you 24/7/365 and know everything about you.
Every person has issues to deal with because every person is growing in some way. Your issues and problems are for you to grow through not for someone else to do it for you. No one can do your inner work for you. Everyone will have to deal with some issues that money can’t buy or fix. So if you have to be the one to count on, if you have to be your own leading authority…where can you begin to make a change in your life to feel more empowered on the inside?

Thanks for the great article Sheila! It’s funny how even when I know I am dedicated to living this way, it still gives me a great boost to have a reminder and a look in the mirror. Thank you for boosting me back up. 🙂
