Empowerment enhances the ability of individuals or organizations to make choices and transform those choices into positive outcomes. Empowered people have recognized their own value and strength and their capacity to handle life's problems. In turn they are better able to influence the course of their lives. With information and support, most people can find within themselves the power to direct their lives and reach their dreams.

I can't because....
Since I work with people who want to make changes in their lives, I have heard a lot of statements that they think are reasons and I think are just excuses. My favorite one is, "I don't have time." In fact, I've used that one a lot myself. What that really means is that I haven't made whatever it is a priority. What's sad is that what replaces the activity that would change my life, is usually something like mindless t.v. Actually, everyone has the same amount of time: 24 hours a day. It's annoying to those of us who think we don't have time to exercise to look at Michelle and Barak. Both of them look to be in great shape and from what I hear they get up extra early and put in the time to exercise. Hmmm. Exactly what would I be doing that would be more important than what they're doing? What could be more important than creating the life of my dreams?
