Choosing Empowerment

““A man’s true state of power and riches is to be in himself.”
 -- Henry Ward Beecher

Our greatest dream at Higher Awareness is to support personal empowerment. What does empowerment mean?

It does NOT mean I am faulty and need to be fixed. In fact, empowerment can only come when I fully accept and appreciate who I am now, in black and white and all shades of grey. Once I accept who I am, I can grow. As Wayne Dyer has said, “I will grow. I will become something new and grand, but no grander than I now am.”

Empowerment can only happen in the present moment. And it can only happen through awareness. With awareness, I can choose something greater for myself right now.

Our newest resource list offers you a wealth of different perspectives on empowerment (see below). Basically, I empower myself when I:

• Discover and live more and more fully in my own truth.
• Acknowledge my fears and move through them.
• Choose to be content and at peace, no matter what.
• Make decisions that honour my needs as well as the needs of others.
• Find meaning, purpose and fulfillment in life.

How do I empower myself? One way is to ask myself empowering questions! If we ask a question, our subconscious mind will go after the answer. It makes sense, then, to ask constructive questions that will bring benefits.

Some empowering questions could be:

• What approach would be helpful here?
• What can I learn from this experience?
• What’s the gift in this situation?
• How can I feel better about this?

It helps to ask for direction for what we want rather than to affirm what we don’t want. Explore more empowering questions through the link below.
