TRUE EMPOWEMENT IPO “THE ESSENCE OF TRANSFORMATIONAL LEARSHIP”
WHO ARE WE REALLY? ď Ź Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness which most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be gorgeous, talented, brilliant and fabulous. Actually who are you not to be?
“You are a child of God and your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. Its not just in some of us, it is in everyone of us. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson

WE GET TO CHOOSE The 3rd Idea – You have the power of Choice. No Matter the circumstances of your birth, who your parents are, where you grew up, what anyone has told you – realize that "It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny."Jean Nidetch As created beings – were have all been given the power of Choice Such is the power of choice that it can bring us closer to or further from our dreams. Most of our time is spent in making choices. It begins as soon as we awake in the morning. Do I jump out of bed or do I lie around as long as possible? Do I prepare for a test or do I wing it? Do I follow my conscience or do I listen to my friends? The point is that each choice we make moves us to the road of success and excellence or the path of mediocrity You have the power to choose the direction of your life and how you will prepare for and respond to anything that comes your way.
