daily word - empowered?

Do you hear people talking more and more about being empowered, such as in their jobs, or doing things that make them feel empowered? Power seems to be very popular. Is this in response to a conscious lack? Perhaps those without power feel it keenly. Yet I have given you all the power you need when I gave you the authority to act in my name. More power than you could need or use. If you understand this then you do not need to hunt around for things to empower you. What else could you need? Are you as diligent in seeking things to make you more loving, thoughtful, kind, joyful, patient, present, and aware?
