• Description : You just need to empower yourself.

Overview

• Have you ever been excluded from something?

  A club or team? Or maybe the life of the rich, beautiful, skinny, or successful?

  You feel like an outsider with your nose pressed up against the window, looking at all of the sparkly fun inside that you don’t get to experience.

  That feeling of being left out, excluded, not part of the real fun, is one of the loneliest feelings in the world. What is it that they’ve got that you don’t? What is it that you are missing that holds you back?

  The truth is, you don’t need to be rich, beautiful, successful, or invited to join the club to be happy and confident.

  You just need to empower yourself.
  
  

  The essence of self-empowerment is personal responsibility– taking full and complete control and accountability for you own life and circumstances. And this is both liberating and totally scary.
  
  
  

  It’s liberating because taking full responsibility for your life means you . . .

  • make your own choices and decisions;

  • live according to your own personal operating system and values;

  • are free from the anxiety of living up to the expectations of others;

  • experience the joy of being authentically yourself.

  But it’s frightening because you . . .

  • can no longer blame others for your failures and disappointments;

  • can’t cling to childish, dependent security from others;

  • have to let go of the “old you,” even if that person was holding you back.
