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.

Inventory
It's a good idea to assess where we are before we try to determine where we want to go. Here are some questions I like to ask myself periodically so I can see where my starting points are: 1) In general, how do I feel about my lifestyle - how I live, my home, recreation, etc? 2) How is my self-esteem - how am I feeling about myself? 3) How disciplined and organized am I on a daily basis - am I able to do my life without feeling confused, rushed, etc? 4) How's my health - are there things I could do to improve? 5) How am I feeling about my career/job/avocation? Is it what I really want to do? 6) How am I doing in relation to the people in my life? 7) How are my finances? Are there things I could do to improve? And finally 8) Are there things I would like to do to further my personal growth?
