EVERYDAY EMPOWERMENT
A Step Further
By Alice Parker
Not complacency, as you are past that. Yet, you feel you can do more, better or just
some things differently. I never take ‘dares’ from others, but sometimes we must
intentionally, but mindfully when someone or something has gone beyond an acceptable
situation, or reasonable line been crossed. If you don’t speak up, given an explanation of
why the prior behavior was not acceptable, how does anyone know how you feel about their
actions? Or, did you actually expect them to change without you informing them of you feelings? Are you Self-
Sabotaging - not a healthy pattern on your part - or don’t you feel worthy of being treated better?
You give your power away when you expect another to step-up for you! This is about You and Your Happiness -
which You are responsible for making happen. You cannot ask for a better life, and then sit back waiting. Help
comes to those who do help themselves to take control of their life. Yes, it’s scary to step from the nest, especially if
it’s been controlling Your life. Realize, and learn to use your gorgeous wings to fly into your own Self-created
freedom. Your life can be exciting, filled with passion and fulfillment of your own making! Now, ask your intuition,
“What is the best Next Step - career change, relationship or personal-Self?” Intuitively that voice declares what
makes You happy, and supports Your change.
Preparation is the foundation-step of change, so you don’t flounder or question your dreams. Spend some time deep
breathing, then planning the steps for all of the changes that you want in your life. It is sometimes easier to break away
from what is holding you back, than moving forward to what you want. Doubt and fear will jump in if you don’t have
some Next Steps planned. It’s your ego happily trotting all
over You, trying to figure out your life. That is what is
meant by ‘fools rush in’ - they get lost, and sometimes slink
back to where they were, and no body wants to go
backwards. Just deep breathe several times, ask for
clearance and direction to guide you Now.
“No matter what
It took several crises to realize that my Self-worth was
totally up to ME, no matter how much education I had.
How I treated myself related to how I allowed others to
treat me. How I valued me to how much of my authority I
gave up to follow others’ opinions / suggestions. Your selfworth
develops Self-Empowerment. It’s you expressing
yourSelf freely at situations you don’t accept, or
downplaying your intelligence to YourSelf or others.
Empowerment is honoring, self-respecting who you know
in your heart to be true, not what others say.

happened yesterday
it is insignificant
when compared
to what lies
within the core of
your being today.”
