Love is the true empowering energy. When you treat a person as though they are "good enough to be loved by another", you lift them up into the warmth of their soul............
How do you best empower another?
You ask them what they want from life and want to give to life.........
You listen carefully, remembering that people will only express the all of who they are when they feel safe and therefore loved. Safety is found in love...........love creates safety...............it all leads back to love. Love is the source of every energy that is good and helpful, and that empowers another.
You may ask them to explain more of what they mean (about what they want to give and receive from life), to find a deeper energy in the person. When you feel this deeper energy know they are empowered through your love.
You assume they are acting from their heart and you act from yours. It will make their heart come alive...............as they feel safe, loved and appreciated for who they are.
If love is how we best empower another, how do we learn to love another?
Learning how to love another requires practice. It requires humilty, selfless actions (compassionate, caring support of anothers emergence as who they are), and understanding and appreciation of anothers viewpoint. Love is very gentle with the truth (appreciating that our view of the truth is often very different to anothers), offering it as a choice and not as a fact.
Love knows that empowering someone means letting go, letting them fly, encouraging them to be themselves. Each person has to create their own lessons in life for learning, according to their own special life needs. Whether they are easy or hard lessons is their choice alone.
Love knows the main "empowering another" role is to support, encourage and to listen carefully as they review their progress. By creating a place where the truth can be easily spoken, and the life lessons can be easily learned and new choices made.
Empower others if you wish to be empowered.
