Be Empowered!

Welcome to "Empowered Everyday"! I started this blog in 2007 as a site for posting inspiring and empowering quotations. Each quote was accompanied by a question and an affirmation/mantra to facilitate deeper exploration of the wisdom within the quote and to encourage application of the wisdom to one's own life. In 2008, I began to include a few entries with writing prompts for journaling to offer more structure for exploration and application. After playing around with different formats and content in 2010, I have returned in 2011 to focusing on the wisdom found in words.

I believe that great quotations and proverbs are expressions of collective wisdom. The person who becomes known for a particular organization of words is expressing some aspect of our collective consciousness as human beings that has existed for centuries. This is why so many quotes feel so "right", like we have the wisdom somewhere within in us already.

The core ideas of many quotes are found across diverse cultures around the world, as well as in ancient writings, both spiritual and secular. The collective wisdom quotes and proverbs selected represent various historical times, as well as contemporary reflections. The quotes are intentionally inclusive of women, diverse cultures, and different spiritual traditions.

The quotes are selected with the intention of helping you reconnect to some fundamental truths and inspire you towards empowered living. Each entry also includes THE "FOCUS AND FLOW" QUESTION, as well as an affirming meditative thought that I call THE DAILY DEEP BREATH. The simple act of stopping activity for a moment, taking a deep breath, exhaling, and centering ourselves in a short affirmation or mantra-- can help us tap into the power and wisdom within. When you are able to live from an empowered core, you are better able to "Focus and Flow", sustain positive well-being, emanate positive energy, and contribute to the positive development of others and to our planet.

Check out the ARCHIVES for the growing collection over 1,000 specially selected quotes that have been posted or browse the KEYWORDS at the bottom of the page for posts by topic. You can also type a term into SITE SEARCH for customized Google search results for this site.

I hope that you find "Empowered Everyday" to be a unique, inspiring, and empowering resource!

Wishing you Peace, Power, & Positivity,
