People do better and develop greater aspirations to do better things when they are empowered. Witness the African-American children and young people today who are relating in a whole new way to politics, leadership, and personal goals and dreams.

They didn’t become inspired in mass, as they are today, with the impending nomination of Senator Obama for President, by put downs, critics, or even a helping hand. They just naturally have become inspired with this hero in our midst.

People become empowered when they are able to let go of fears, and allow their minds and hearts to soar with possibilities.
