No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, keep you down...

No power in society, no hardship in your condition can depress you, 
keep you down, in knowledge, power, virtue, influence, but by your own consent.  

~William Ellery Channing, 1838



Life throws some pretty bad stuff at us, it's not easy for anyone. It's out of your control. 

You do have a choice everyday...sometimes that choice involves any of the following empowering steps:


  • Ask for help
  • Accept assistance from others
  • Get informed
  • Take a step to distance yourself from people, places or situations that are not to your benefit.
  • Recognize and accept past error(s) as valuable lessons for the future, not a failure dictating who you are and will be. 
  • This may be cliche to many but--it makes a difference in reality--Be a positive influence on yourself..say something positive everyday, build yourself up.  Your mind believes what you tell it..and your body reacts to that message.
