And when one feels lost, you try and find something, someone, to help you, and if there\u2019s no one to help you, <strong>you help yourself<\/strong>. <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\":-)\" class=\"postContentImage\" data-guid=\"20130101_7b27b3474fe4cae04020f3f7bec1c052_gif\" src=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2013\/02\/orgi_20130101_7b27b3474fe4cae04020f3f7bec1c052_gif.gif\"\/> That\u2019s when prayer \u2013 heartfelt prayer, comes in handy.

Stayed away from negative people who just whined or squabbled and of course in effect would also tend to influence them negatively. Some leaders had \u201clists\u201d \u2013 some didn\u2019t.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>I have said that it has been \u201ccathartic for me\u201d because I felt like I can have a voice \u2013 a voice that can be heard.

And before you see success, you will see failure first. And I guess it is because of my own struggles BEFORE I went to the Austin Texas Event that made me see and experience the POWER of Events. And the power of listening to positive audios. It has to be a conscious effort to KEEP FOCUSED on this newly learned positive habit and to protect it at all costs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>I am still in the learning process and in the APPLYING process.

I can never stress it enough \u2013 protect your focus! Help others? But if you SENSE them not appreciating nor needing the help \u2013 let them be, let them go.

Protect your peace, protect your clarity, have a \u201ctake it or leave it\u201d attitude.
