We need to become masterful at navigating our emotions.

In last four months, the whole world has been through a lot, collectively, . . . from the fear of the pandemic, stress, and anxiety to survive and save our lives to the displaced anger, outburst, resentment, and sadness over racial injustices.

We are going through a time of great uncertainty and emotional turmoil.

It is a time when we are asking a lot of questions with seemingly not a lot of answers.

It is a time when we are craving leadership but do not know exactly who to look to.

Yet it is also a time when people are trying to find out the certainty, answers, and leadership within. It is a time when we are each being called to look deep within and expose our own limiting beliefs, conditioned fears, and racial biases.

It is a time to experience and become sensitive to the feelings at large and move through them so we do not act from a place of pure emotion and sentiment.

It is a time to do our own findings to seek the ‘truth’ rather than believe what outside sources tell us and force us to believe.

In fact, it is the time of empowerment.

Empowerment is not about having power over another, in fact, it’s quite the opposite.

Most people who exert power over another have deep insecurities within them which they are compensating for.

When we are empowered, we believe and trust ourselves so much so that we never look at others  as “better than” or “less than.” We don’t make a comparison.

When we are empowered, we use the powerful force of our compassion, EQ, and IQ for the well-being of our fellow human beings.

Please do not give your power away to any person, or an organization or set of belief systems unless you ensure it would work there.

Please do not let anyone tell you who you are how you should be. Use your own personal power to be a voice for those who feel disempowered, weak or less privileged

Most of the time what blocks us or prevent us from embodying empowerment is our pent up emotions,

Each one of us had times in our lives when we felt hurt, unheard, denied, ignored, rejected, or misunderstood. 

Usually, when that kind of thing happens, we did not have the maturity to express our anger or sadness about it in a legitimate way.

So, we stuff it deep inside within us and then one fine day we vent out our perturbed emotions in most indecent, inappropriate and illegitimate and unlawful ways, which hurt the entire society oa n larger scale.

We need to become masterful at navigating our emotions and putting justified anger to good use.
