Which is the best starting point for Self-Worth: Self-acceptance? Self-esteem? Personal growth? We all face personal changes every day - some thrust upon us and some that we allow through "default." Even our failure to make a choice is, however, a choice in itself. That this site is called Empowering For Change may seem ironic, since your first challenge (and likely an ongoing one) is SELF-ACCEPTANCE, embracing yourself EXACTLY AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. SELF-ACCEPTANCE acknowledges the qualities we would love to "tweak," yet continues to love and fully accept our True Self. Whether you have children/ teens/ young adults you care about - or wish to make a difference in the lives of others in your world - explore the articles and materials available here. As you demonstrate the kind of personal power that leads to self-acceptance, your life become a source of inspiration for others to emulate! "What? ACCEPT myself? No way! There are some things I've GOT to CHANGE before I deserve self-acceptance!!!" Losing weight. Hating getting older. Determined to change our kids' behavior. Fighting hunger.... "What we resist persists," first explained by Carl Jung, is a concept made well-known by the book and movie The Secret. Although in theory many know that focusing on what we do not want only strengthens its existence, in practice most people's lives are geared to fighting off the negative. This site is about transitioning to apply positive focus on what we DO want. Beginning with full self-acceptance, we empower ourselves to make the changes that truly matter in our lives. Welcome to Empowering For Change! Make yourself at home here: Kick off your shoes, stay awhile, comment on blogs, and return often. |
