Growing Stronger...

Back when my gym was open, Strength Camp Acworth, the Strength Camp Mission was:
"We have a relentless commitment to growing stronger every day, and we empower our brothers and sisters to also strive towards becoming the strongest version of themselves."
EMPOWER OTHERS.
Wow.
Powerful words.
How have YOU empowered OTHERS today? This week? This year?
Giving is an important part of becoming the strongest version of yourself. Your time, your passion, your effort, you knowledge, YOUR HELP.
EMPOWERMENT.
Not a hand-out. Empowerment.
"The term empowerment refers to measures designed to increase the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities in order to enable them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority. It is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights .Empowerment as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence, and to recognize and use their resources." - Wikipedia
Let's hear that again...
"ENABLES them to OVERCOME their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence... becoming STRONGER and more CONFIDENT, especially in controlling one's life and claiming one's rights."
What a gift.
Powerful.
THAT'S a CHALLENGE....
I challenge all of you to go out during this month and MAKE A DIFFERENCE in someone's life... just like Amy did in the link below from the Facebook Watch show Returning the Favor with Mike Rowe.
EMPOWER them.
Only then can you truly GROW STRONGER mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
