I have to keep myself safe, and let the intrusive thoughts pass. That is, until I can handle it. Takes time, and suffering to get back out to the light.
I love your threads--this being one of them...so positive!!! Yes, Empowerment!!!
Very glad you got your job!!! Congrats!!!! ------------theo
Postscript: I do not believe that I have total "control" over everything, My Bestest Friend does.
There are things you can change all on your own; true, but sometimes, it is beyond your control.
JMO--I have to let it be, and accept that all will be well-----also, little known fact: Nowhere in the Bible does it say "He helps those who help themselves"
----Ben Franklin wrote that.
"The Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The Courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to know the difference."-----------------I am Somebody!!!
Thank you for this inspiring thread!!!----theo

One of the things I've noticed about self-empowerment is being able to understand what one is capable of, but being wise enough to know how to use ones skills.
It's so important to understand ourselves well enough to know there are times when we just have to sit down and take a breather. To do so is a part of the empowerment process because we are allowing ourselves the necessary resources to build forward - otherwise we'd just run out of gas and only get so far.
I may not believe in the world you think I should, but I Am Somebody!
