Feel free to share your reflections or discuss them with others in the empowered community.  It's a great way to celebrate the journey and inspire each other for the road ahead!

"Citizenship in a Republic" by Theodore Roosevelt  “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,  whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;  who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;  but who does actually strive to do the deeds;  who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;  who spends himself in a worthy cause;  who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,  so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Celebrating Milestones

 

July 15, 2023 Regenerate Your World  Build the future you want to live in. I know these times aren't the easiest for all of us, but I am an optimist - I see the glass as refillable instead of half-full or half-empty. To brighten up your days, I publish the Regenerate Your World newsletter coming to your inbox on a bi-weekly basis. Let's Get Empowered!

Celebrating Milestones Dear Empower Possible Community, It's an exciting time as we celebrate two significant milestones - the growth of EMPOWER Possible, I have officially been in business for a year and nine months, and my 13th wedding anniversary. Lucky number 13, as I remind my husband! This month's newsletter is about the power of relational well-being, at a personal, interpersonal, and organizational level, and how it contributes to our overall success. When we think about success, it's easy to focus solely on professional achievements. However, true success encompasses much more than that.  It involves nurturing healthy relationships, finding harmony in our lives, and fostering a sense of well-being in every aspect.  Think about how you define success. Is it a feeling, reaching a specific level of income, being in a particular type of relationship, gaining fame, or becoming an expert in your field? Success always seemed just beyond my reach so I decided to reflect more on why I felt this way. And what I came to realize I was always thinking about success as a final destination. Now I define success differently. I include the aspects of the three empowerments (self-awareness, social networks, and systems) as they relate to joy and relationships. If I am experiencing moments of joy, learning, building relationships, and growing then I am on the right track toward success, recognizing it is a journey.  This journey includes other people, family, friends, and colleagues. Some people come in and out of our lives quickly and others stay for awhile.  Think about the following questions. What roles do relationships play in our lives?  What relationships do you cherish?  What relationships help you grow?  How do you nurture connection? Cherishing Relationships: As I celebrate my wedding anniversary, I reflect on the importance of strong and meaningful connections in my life. Take a moment to consider the relationships that have shaped you, supported you, and brought joy into your life. Express your gratitude to those who have been a part of your journey. Think about how they have contributed to your success. Self-Care and Personal Growth: Just as we prioritize the well-being of our loved ones, we must also remember to care for ourselves. Pause, take a deep breath, and tune in to your own needs. Ask yourself, "What do I need to feel balanced, rejuvenated, and fulfilled?" Embrace self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and soul. For me, I prioritize time in nature by taking a walk in the woods or a paddle on the lake in order to rest and recharge.  What relationships in your life support your well-being? Nurturing Meaningful Connections: In our pursuit of relational well-being and success, we cannot overlook the importance of interpersonal relationships. Take the time to cherish and nurture the connections you have with others. Reach out to a colleague or friend who has supported you on your journey and express your gratitude. Engage in meaningful conversations, actively listen to others, and offer your support and encouragement. By fostering strong interpersonal connections, we create a network of individuals who uplift and inspire us, contributing to our overall well-being and success.  I set a reminder in my calendar to reach out to a friend at least once a week. This helps me maintain my relationships. Organizational Well-being: Empowering Success Together EMPOWER Possible has been built on the foundation of empowering individuals and organizations to thrive. I believe that when we prioritize the well-being of our teams, the results speak for themselves. Here are a couple of ways we can foster organizational well-being: Cultivating a Supportive Work Culture: A positive and supportive work environment promotes collaboration, innovation, and overall job satisfaction. Encourage open communication, recognize achievements, and invest in professional development opportunities that help your team members grow both personally and professionally. Empowering Leadership: Effective leadership plays a crucial role in creating a thriving organization. Lead with empathy, inspire your team, and provide them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. By prioritizing the well-being of your team members, you create a workplace that fosters productivity and fulfillment. In the spirit of relational well-being, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your personal and professional connections, the support systems you've cultivated, and the milestones you've achieved. Share your insights and experiences with me: I would love to hear from you! Remember, success is not solely measured by individual accomplishments but also by the richness of our relationships and the positive impact we make on those around us. Let's continue to empower each other as we journey toward well-being and success. Wishing you a month filled with joy, love, and empowered possibilities! Warm regards, Julie Was this newsletter forwarded to you? Click here to get your own subscription. If You Must Go by  Terry Gouveia If you must go, then go for a while Remember that first step is a hard traveled mile. To learn what lessons life has in store, You must be willing to open each door. Don't be afraid to experience something new For each experience will be a benefit to you. Never live your life in the past Enjoy every day as if it were your last Mistakes you will make along the way Learn from them, and you'll be okay Set your goals high and strive for them As long as you try, you'll never be condemned Be kind and respect the people you meet For they may be the ones to make life complete Be sincere in everything you do And treat others as you wish they would you Whatever you do, make sure you're content For the last thing you want is something to resent So if you must go, then go for a while And when you return, return with a smile.
