At times we need to take a good long look in the mirror to check out “who” we have become.. You may be shocked and amazed to find that the person who is staring back at you no longer resembles how you remember yourself not so very long ago! The person in the mirror has traits of anger lines across her forehead and her beautiful laugh lines have turned downward to resemble the look of frown lines. The person in the mirror has pain stamped on her cheek bones, where the amazing dimples once lived..
What happened that caused the stresses of life to take over the jovial vivacious person that once existed? How and when did you let those unwavering fears of uncertainty, damming doubts, and victimization over- take the victorious antics of living? Where is the confident powerhouse of a woman that once was your reflection – again, not so very long ago…
Rise up! Rise up and become empowered by life and live it the way God intended! Rise up and take your life back!! Become inspired, become jubilant, become encouraged, become celebratory, become righteous, become alive, and most of all become EMPOWERED!
There’s a reason for your life; for God does not make mistakes! Shout back into the mirror that you will no longer tolerate anymore-wasted time on negative energy, or on mediocre efforts or wallowing in self-pity! This day is your day to change your paradigm! Begin right where you are, take small steps daily, and surround yourself with positive people that will encourage your efforts!
The choice to become victorious is yours! Choose EMPOWERMENT and be part of the SOLUTION, rather than part of the problem!

Lisa thank you so much for the post.
It is amazing how much daily happenings can change us all! It is so easy to get caught up in the negative of this life. I find that I must do much self therapy to not give in and follow the negative. When I find myself lost deep within it, I have to step back and have a good talk with myself. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to pull away from it but so worth it in the long run. God has granted me this awesome life and it is up to me to use it with purpose!
Once again I thank you for staring this blog.
God Bless

AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF EMPOWERMENT IS TO GRAVITATE TOWARDS AND SURROUND ONESELF WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE MOVING IN THE DIRECTION OF EMPOWERMENT AND/OR HAVE ALREADY ACHIEVED POWERFUL GOALS.
THANKS LISA FOR CREATING A FORUM THAT EMBRACES THE POSITIVE ASPECTS OF HUMAN NATURE AS IT RELATES TO STRENGTHENING OUR SPIRITUAL CORE AND SELECTING WELL PLANNED “CHOICES”. CHOICES ARE NOT ALWAYS OURS TO MAKE, BUT IF AND WHEN THEY ARE, ITS UP TO US UTILIZE THEM WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD’S PLAN AND OUR PLAN MAY BE TWO DIFFERENT ROADS. THEN COMES THE ULTIMATE CHOICE: WHICH ROAD WILL YOU TRAVEL?
