Empowerment
Empowerment
Noun - 1. The granting of political, social or economic power to an individual or group.
2. The process of supporting another person or persons to discover and claim personal power.
The focus here is to provide documentaries, articles, books and strategies that promote empowerment, growth and connectivity. Educate yourself, perform practical experimentation (ie trial and error) and connect with those who have accomplished goals similar to your own. One's health and well being are directly related to a positive relationship with community (or the perception thereof). The internet connects us all, and ultimately allows for the free flow of information.
