The Power of One!


We cannot change the world.

We can, however, change our world and the world of those around us.

Leaders are neither wealthy, powerful, courageous, nor resourceful. They make themselves available to the opportunities around them, those glimpses of truth in their families, their communities and in their workplaces. They choose to see with their heart and mind rather than be lead by words spoken out loud or written on paper.

We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired. For......while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us. ---Audre Lorde

We have all been given what we need to succeed where we find ourselves in life. If we are not blessed with a tremendous amount of money, then surely you have been given the resourcefulness that you need. Whatever obstacles you face, you have the ability in you to rise up and meet the dawn of a new day. Vow to never give in, give up or cede to those things weighing you down. Resolve to reach into that deep inner place and find what you need.

Much that you need has been lost......We must use what we have to invent what we desire - Adrienne Rich

Resolve that THIS will be THE DAY that you will remove from your eyes that which keeps you from seeing the world around you. Laughter and joy comes from seizing the moment exactly where you are and enjoying it anyway. Plan for the future, but do not allow what might come to rule your heart.

Never underestimate your ability to overcome the problems you face in your life. Never underestimate your ability to help someone else. Resolve to stand firm in the tempest and survive. There is great power in one. One who is willing, despite fear, doubt and every other emotion that will try to rob you of today will surely be a hero. Courage is not what makes a hero a hero, but actions taken in spite of emotion.

If you lack motivation, perhaps a brief visit to the past would bolster your spirits. Visit these sites and see the power of ONE!
