Internalizing Empowerment: Free Will & Power

Internalizing Empowerment: Free Will & Power

MAIN POINTS:

1. Free will is the freedom and ability to act the way you choose without any impediments. This does have moral, ethical and societal implications, however.

2. We must accept responsibility for our thoughts and actions. This is empowerment. When we take full control of ourselves, we can make the best choices for ourselves without the influence or validation of others.

3. While free will can mean the ability to choose, freedom of choice means possibility to choose. Some people, for various reasons, cannot choose what is happening to them but they CAN choose what they do with it.

4. When approached with a challenging situation, we can either approach it with gratitude for the learning opportunity or approach it as a victim with full pity party regalia. That is our free will. This is one of the ways we work to define and empower ourselves.

5. In the world of psychology, the concept of “free will” is still up for discussion, most will say that human behavior is determined by influences within or outside themselves. That would mean that regardless of our free will, we can’t help but be influenced by our circumstances. Nevertheless, it’s up to you what you do with it.

TRY THIS: Use your free will to choose approaching all situations and thoughts from an empowerment angle, while not everything is within our control our thoughts are.

POST IT NOTE: I will use my free will to choose good
