Nine Steps to Empowerment

I will decide to notice and accept the unmanageable parts of my life without denial.

I will investigate and decide to release fear and all things that have separated me from my true self, my passion, my compassion and personal happiness. I will tell myself the truth.

I will make a daily decision and commitment not to see life as a victim/child. I will work at seeing life through the eyes of a compassionate adult living in the now.

I will stay committed to the solution and 100% responsible for my life and environment. I will not be a victim of present or past situations. I will stand up to myself and never give up.

I will develop self-care and responsibility for my spiritual, physical, financial and emotional well-being.

I will be my own best friend; I will decide not to disrespect, betray or compromise my personal integrity. I will remind myself that I am extremely important.

I will develop and create my own Sacred Space, as I understand it. I will utilize personal, collective prayer and meditation as power tools that remind me that I am never alone.

I will develop an attitude of gratitude and forgiveness until there is nothing to forgive. I will create random acts of kindness to self and others.

I will learn about and respect cultural differences. I will practice being a Peacemaker on earth, respecting its people, the water, the air and the animal and plant kingdoms. I will interrupt violence whenever I can.
