As best-selling author Dr. Susan Jeffers observed in her book, Dare to Connect, "Pick up the mirror instead of the magnifying glass—not to blame yourself, but to empower yourself."

When you look at life with positive eyes, you immediately empower yourself.

Celebrate your blessings—you have too many to count!

NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF...
"The more vulnerable I am, the more empowered I feel because it's my belief that there's no emotion that I have to be ashamed of." ~ Alanis Morissette

Embrace who you are and the skin you’re in. Love the entire package, good and bad.

MONEY
"Money's only important when you don't have any." ~ Sting

Empowerment comes when you have control on your finances and make your money work for you. Control impulsive spending. Assess your future, your progress, and your needs.

STUMBLING IS NOT FALLING...
"Stumbling is not falling." ~ Portuguese Proverb

"One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks." ~ Jack Penn

Anything your mind can believe, you can achieve. Believe and achieve.

CALL IT INTUITION...
The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you, and you don't know how or why.” ~ Albert Einstein

Trust your intuition. Go with your gut and know that your opinion counts. Be assertive, and if you don’t agree or like something, speak up. Your ideas could stimulate new ideas and new solutions.

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality."

Empower yourself, get control, and watch how your life transforms...
