In creating the life of our dreams, we may learn many unexpected things. For example, "Our true gift to ourselves and others lies not in what we have but who we are." Marianne Williamson.
Many of us start out to create the life of our dreams thinking that our possessions, education, social status and other "American dream" goals are the things that will make up the life of our dreams. The more we succeed at creating these things, the more we may notice that we still don't feel like we have the life of our dreams. Then we may need to change our focus. This doesn't mean we've failed; it means we've learned what's really important to us.
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.
