“Self discovery is the stepping stone to an INPowering life. Seek, and you will find.”
~Garland McWatters
Thoughts are things
Our thoughts shape our actions. We can program ourselves for INPowerment when we select what we will think about and how we will think about living our lives.
I hope these sayings and my audio commentary about them will help you become more INPowered at home, at work, and in your community.
Share your soul
We all should respect people for the content of their character. Yet, we are more likely to connect with those whose soulful essence resonates with ours.
Find the harmony in change
We learn to live in harmony with the changes, especially if they bring value to our quality of life. The dis-harmony comes when we decide we do not want to change with the times.
Get better acquainted with yourself
There is something going on inside our fleshly boundary that projects itself outward in all directions. Our energy ripples from our center. There is something that makes us tick. But what? And why?
Learn the difference between belief and truth
Factual truth that can be proved by evidence does not depend on whether one chooses to believe it. While belief, no matter how sincere, is entirely within the will of an individual to accept it.
Let growing older grow in you
Everyone wants to live forever without looking or acting like they are aging. There are aspects of growing older that are universal and inescapable.
Pros are in demand. You can be one.
You don’t become a pro overnight. Being naturally talented might give you a head start, but it isn’t enough by itself.
Courage is the faith you did not know you had until you needed it
Courage is intentional. Knowing to do the right thing and acting righteously, understanding the personal consequences, but taking the action to make things better in the face of risk.
Be a mystery instead of an open book
I might have made a good first impression, but the second, and the third, and the fourth impressions got progressively worse the longer I talked.
Doing one thing means not doing anything else at the same time
A priority is what I must do now, no matter how inconsequential it seems, in a series of linked tasks so I can do the next thing.
Lead the WHAT and the WHO will follow
Buying in to the message leads to inspiration, enrollment, and engagement. Leaders walk their talk, or no one follows.
Great ideas come from many ideas
Creatives will tell you that their standout achievements are surrounded by the hundreds or thousands of preliminary ideas and attempts they had to go through.
Grievance is not a vision
Dwelling on grievance does not solve the problem. It only points it out. Because, not getting what you DO NOT WANT will never guarantee that you will get what you do want.
