reconcile? I don't need to reconcile those words, but do you?
Empowering others is like ME sharing with others what I experienced, what I know, or what I feel --if I am compelled to do so. What others do with it, or what is useful for them, is up to them obviously. Often times they feel defensive. For me, I recognize the difference between clear discernment vs defensiveness. This first means I disagree but am clear about why, the latter indicates I disagree but I don't know why. I always know I have something to work out in self-acceptance for myself if I feel 'defense' arise.
I cannot empower anyone but I do wish to offer what I know if I think it might be something of value. I often give examples from my own views and experiences. If someone can see themselves in it, that is the gift to them and perhaps they will make use of it.
To further empower myself I appreciate what others offer and share, and often it gives me clarity regardless of what it is or if I agree.
