In life, we always make choices. In fact, on of the most
alarming conditions of our moral society today is how mothers
choose whether to have their baby born or not. This is
especially true to mothers with unwanted pregnancies.
However, when we make choice we must possess something so as to
empower us to make the right decision. That is
ìself-empowermentî or the ability to give power or strength to
oneís own self. It is mostly needed in times when people want to
live their life with an implication of reason and
conscientiousness.
For this reason, we can clearly say that what people do with
their lives, they should always be accountable to whatever
consequences that will happen. It defines manís basic meaning in
life; therefore, it only goes to show that man cannot always get
away with something that he or she has done.
Basically, God created man above all things with intellect and
will so that he will know how to make the most put of his life.
God gave him conscience to tell him if what he has done was
right or wrong. That is why there is always the saying, ëYou are
what you do!î This because you know what is right from wrong,
therefore, whatever it is that you do would always be accounted
on you.
For example, a person cannot deny that he is an alcoholic if he
doesnít drink liquor. If we donít lie, then we must not cheat.
If we just hang around, then, that means we donít have a purpose
or goal in life. If we claim we are righteous, then, we should
never do what is wrong. In this manner, it is assumed that even
if we deny about something, our actions will always show and
reflect the kind of person we are.
So, where does ìself-empowermentî sinks in? How can people say
they our self-empowered when they do not know what it is or how
it is acquired?
If you are conscious of what your purpose in life is; if you
know why you are here on earth; if you know what to do with what
life has to offer; then, even if you are not yet determined to
do something about it, you are in a continuous struggle between
sharpening your consciousness and fortifying your level of
ìself-empowerment.î
The phrase, ìYou are what you do,î deals more of our attitude
towards life, how we deal with problems, and how we face the
consequences of our actions.
Take for example the situation where in people are devastated by
calamities. At certain point, there are people who would go out
of their way helping everyone to the best of their abilities. If
they donít have the means to do so, they would seek help from
those who can. That is a positive attitude of helping people.
Because they chose to help, the things they have done showed how
they sympathize with the victims and expressed their empathy.
On the other hand, there are those who do not care at all. Even
if they contend they do, the fact that they have not done
anything to alleviate the victims from their present situations
is already an enough manifestation of who they are in life. If
they chose to be passive and apathetic with the people around
them, then, it means that they donít care. I believe that they
donít even care if that happens to their family.
Then again, some people may ask, for those who were able to help
other people, was it only possible because they have something
to offer? What if they donít have the means to help other
people, would they do the same?
The answer is yes, if they have the confidence and the
willingness to help even if they too need help. That is the
power of ìself-empowerment.î
These entire things boil down to the point that people should
realize that whatever they do reflects the kind of person they
are. So, in order to realize all these things and be sensitive
to whatever actions you do, make it a habit to always reflect
each hour on things that you have just done. Contemplate on it,
whether it had been good or bad.
The bottom line is that, it would be better if we stop
complaining and blaming each other of whoís who. What we must do
is to mull over on some things before we do them. As the old
saying goes, ìIf you donít have anything good to say, donít
talk.î Itís that simple.
