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.

Brainstorming follow up
I just watched a special on PBS on happiness. The one thing research has shown for sure is that without people we love in our lives, we are not going to be happy. It also appears to be true that we were created to help each other. We enjoy it. It feels really good to know that you've had a part in making someone else's life better. After you've asked your brainstorming group for ideas, it's likely that they will be ready to do some more. No telling what they will come up with - maybe contacts for you, maybe equipment for your project, maybe funding sources. You can invite your brainstorming people to a party and/or include some other people you and they have thought of for the next steps. By this time, though, you should have a list of what you need ready. Next post: how to make the list.
