If we have to live the life we want, we need to empower ourselves by, first, having a vision of what should be. For that to happen, you need to do a lot of things.
Help yourself to grow. Read a lot. Interact with people. Empathise with them. Identify problem areas. Use your free time to think about issues as it is only by pondering that we can find answers to vexed questions.
First, consciously realise that you have potential. Then, work towards developing it, refining it and focusing it to reap the rewards. When we start walking on a growing curve, we automatically get energetically charged.
As you explore yourself and the little world around you, there will be a new sense of exhilaration.
Bravely enter the lexicon of change strategies. Do not fear change as it helps you to get a feel of something different and untested. Most of the time, you will see that change helps to leap on to another plane. It is worth the risk.
Look at life like a lab. You have to experiment. Only then can one have the courage to dream of different possibilities that life offers. You have to trust your ability to find what is right for you.
This takes both effort and time. Few do it as they are scared of what it might entail or turn out to be.
To neutralise negativity, one just has to think about the reality of how millions around us live. They battle poverty, hunger, injustice, intolerance and hardship.
That should be enough to thank our stars, empower ourselves and move ahead. If possible, even help others see a new day.
We just need to daily look within ourselves to discover the wealth we have.
There are so many things we have that money cannot buy. Like freedom. Like the power of sight. Being healthy. Having a roof that does not drip during the rains. A hot meal.
But, it is important to visualise the life we want. Once we identify that, then the path is easy. We just have to systematically work towards it.
But the truth is that most of us do not even try to visualise what our life should be. So we end up floating around without a dream to chase and build.No one can empower you.You have to do it yourself.
