The Power of Empowerment.

Hello, I'm relatively new here. There are so many great people here with sooo much wisdom and first-hand experience to share. I do realize that by expressing my thoughts and my beliefs here may not always be received well, or agreed with. And I'm OK with that, it's to be expected. I did not always feel this way. Once upon a time, i used to try extremely hard to "please everyone's ear" with my measured words,. I was a prisoner to my own messed up "beliefs" of how i was supposed to conform to what would or would not be acceptable in society's eyes. I really put myself through hell, always striving to make others accept me,.or to "fit in" to the so called Norms of society. Then one day, i was Strong enough to tear down my conformity walls, and say to myself,"you know something, i know who and what i am, and I'm a great person, i like what i am". Fuc$ what EVERYONE ELSE thinks because EVERYONE was not there when i almost died a many days. This turning point in my new, empowered self, began to grow in strength and in a carelessness to what ANYONE thinks,or thought about me anymore. There is a beautiful freedom that comes with self-empowerment,. The beginning to the end of one's suffering. Good Day All!

Thank you,. I eventually learned to turn my self destructive fear into a constructive force of positive energy out of my anger and frustration due to my situation at that time.
