Using the definition taken from wikipedia "Empowerment refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social or economic strength of individuals and communities. It often involves the empowered developing confidence in their own capacities." Dream Snare is more focused on Self Empowerment in regards to a driving goal of humanity, and under that general guideline, further specified to self confidence and potential spiritual aspects of Empowerment. Who doesn't want to be in control (and be responsible) of their own life? It's a debated topic for theists and atheists, but even for religious doctrines, many agree that man has free will. But what's free will if we have very limited day to day decision making power over our most precious resource, our time? It's easy to find ourselves shuffled into a dead end position at work, or in a relationship that appears to be out of our hands, and our decisions seem very limited in scope. Don't be fooled! When viewed this way Self Empowerment can be viewed as an expression of Freedom. The two dreams/goals are tightly linked, and at the very least are highly correlated in meaning and purpose. Also, by achieving Empowerment we can find meaning and Purpose in our lives, for without control over our own time how can we be discover or fulfill our own purpose? |
