This Week’s Quotation:
…the grace of God has the possibility of interceding in another person’s life and changing it, of saying, “I don’t care what’s happened up to now; I don’t care what trajectory your life seemed to be on. It’s now changing to something wonderful in my presence.“
Becoming a Sun, p. 305
Empowering Yourself
Sometimes, I want to wallow in my sorrow and be in my anger about being wronged. Have you ever experienced that? When you’re in “a mood” and someone comes along with positivity and love—you’d rather they leave you alone?
Welcome to a human pattern of being—thus far. Being in our victimhood can become addictive and the way we live our lives, even handed down and taught. We need to take responsibility for our quality of life to change this pattern.
My quality of life has become a high priority, and I practice prioritizing it at every moment as best I can. I am getting into a pattern of asking myself, What quality of life do I want to have at this moment? Doing so helps me step back from my current experience and be open to what is possible from a place of grace, understanding, and possibility. Acknowledging and accepting that I am worthy of this gift of life, I empower myself to take hold of my experience in each moment.
Self-empowerment is a gift to ourselves and our world because the more it becomes our pattern of being, the more we can provide that for others, and our world changes.
I invite you, reader, to take hold of what is rightfully yours and leave the rest behind, for it is no longer your burden.
What does it mean to become a sun?
Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.

Yes, I’m in full agreement with you, Keahi. And I very much endorse the BECOMING A SUN workshop with David Karchere that is announced near your blog as well. Love, tom C.
Thank you for your response and your endorsement, Tom!
In full agreement with you, Keahi. And, to me, self-empowerment is simply a matter of expressing the qualities of true character in my living: integrity, nobility, generosity, humility, honesty, compassion, etc., all differentiations of the central quality of Love. No matter what “mood” I may be in I receive with a smile anyone who comes into my presence. This empowers them and me!
Beautiful, Keahi, and I fully agree. We have a choice, always, to be in the place of empowering actions of integrity and grace. Peace surrounds us as we live in the moment and let go to the beauty of living life and letting the reality of our creator within move through us into our world. What joy comes in this gift of reciprocity.
So true, Linda. Thanks for replying.
Thanks, Jerry.
