Ten Steps To EmpowermentWritten by Sibyl McLendon
1.Let go of past. The past is gone forever, and hanging on to it keeps you from living fully today. Pain, anger, and regret are like quicksand. You can never alter past.2.Forgive yourself. We all have things that we have done that we wish we hadn’t. No one is perfect, nor should we try to be. Forgive yourself for your mistakes and move on. 3.Forgive others. Forgiving those who have injured us is not for their benefit, it is for ours. Holding on to hatred stunts every attempt at growth that we make. Forgive in your heart; it does not mean that you have to forget, or that you have to contact person and tell them that you have forgiven them. Just find a way to make peace with it within yourself. 4.See yourself as a person who deserves best in life. When you can see that you deserve best you will then seek best. If you feel that you are undeserving of best that life has to offer you will take every opportunity to make yourself miserable. 5.Learn to live in moment. Spending your time living for future robs you of enjoying today. Living in past is useless; it can never be changed. Resolve to make today be best possible day.
| | How About Some Instant Inner-gy? Written by Greg Hickman
It seems like all of us could use a little extra energy at one time or another. In fact, most of us know how downright discouraging it can be to run out of steam before we complete a project. Even though we desperately want to finish job, sometimes we find ourselves too "pooped" to pop. Just at those moments when we could desperately use an extra boost of energy to get across finish line, we are out of gas. Then there are those other occasions when we lack mental toughness to see us through rough times we encounter. We know we need to push on, but our will to persevere severely sags under mounting pressure, stress and fatigue. I’m sure you’ve been there before, haven’t you? Are these occasional lapses of energy and fire power an early warning sign that we are not really playing at full speed or we lack commitment to get job done? No, not at all. It is human nature, even in most competitive of those among us, to be tempted to slow down or even stop when we are mentally exhausted or physically worn out. Is there anything we can do when we are faced with these overwhelming feelings to submit or give in? Thankfully, there is. All we need to do is work on nurturing a secret weapon we all have within us, a hidden power that we can quickly call upon whenever and wherever we really need a quick boost of energy. This magical force is our Instant Inner-gy. All winners have a burning, passionate, deep down in their gut desire that drives them to be their best. However, this desire can be severely tested by trials and tribulations we all face daily. At any given time of day or night, a potpourri of obstacles, problems and stumbling blocks can systematically work us over, attempting to snuff out our internal fire. Once our motivation, drive and desire begin to take a back seat, our energy correspondingly plunges to precipitously low levels. The moment we begin to doubt ourselves or our abilities, even ever so slightly, party’s over.
