Turn wounds into Wisdom – Oprah Winfrey
Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worse days give lessons, the best days give memories – Anon
Take other people’s lessons and change your life – Di Downie
It is an epidemic!
Women are looking for their authentic voice. This epidemic is bigger than simply finding what it is that we love to do and being able to carry out what we love. This epidemic is about self discovery, being heard, speaking out, self acceptance adding to others lives, being there for people, choosing people who we want in our life, asking for what we need, living through what is really important to us, eating and drinking for thy temple we live in and much more.
Generally women want to be MORE!
The world we live in today is very very very different to the one I grew up in. I grew up in a world where you did what you were told, you were to be married, have a family, take care of that family. There was little awareness of being creative with our minds. Of course we were encouraged to work with our hands ,to be creative, if we had a bent that way, to paint, learn knitting, collect stamps ( yes that was considered a “good” pastime) , learn to cook to be able to fend for yourself. I didn’t learn to cook to enjoy it or to experiment or for the food to be “good” for us. I learnt to cook so I cook for my family and put food on the table and be organised enough to co-ordinate the family, the food along with the logistics that goes with a family and house and in my case a farm.
The world we live in today is very very very different, although on the outside it looks much the same.
There are possibilities now.
There are global possibilities now,
for anyone who cares to take these opportunities by the hand and walk with them.
Education is now considered to be important and we can learn anything that sparks our interest.
I say I help to empower women through their ideas. I’m in the business of specialised education. I teach how I shifted mine and other peoples paradigms from the industrial age to what I call the network age. In other words, I’m asking how do you empower yourself .
People like Oprah Winfrey has been one of our great role models showing women how to empower themselves in being able to articulate her story and build a business and a brand to leverage her story to change the world.
We all have a history that may of stopped us in the past and may well stop us in the future. I personally think to accept where we have come from and who we are is one of the hardest things to do. Especially when we find what it is that we love and have a burning desire to change the world with that passion.
Hear how four authentic courageous women from Australia benefited from a sliver of specialised education from The Downie Method.
To manage the paradoxes of being on purpose and steering ourselves through lifes challenges is not only a skill it takes tenacity, continual self development, self awareness and a supportive community of likeminded people.
Even though this video is under a minute these two courageous and aware women share one tip each as to what they do to empower themselves to help themselves steer their life through their personal challenges and manage their passions.

I say BE Creative by living through what you are passionate about.
How do you empower yourself?
Tell us in the comments below.
In other words how do you facilitate power to yourself???
My tips as to how to Empower Yourself:
Get a dream – spend time developing your dream into pictures for you mind
Get a vision – you need two visions – download my Vision E book I wrote when I presented my Vision Workshop in Japan.
Get 4 Values – Your values are the basis of your decisions
Get a Big Problem – and solve it!
Most people don’t have a dream, spend time day dreaming to facilitate what it is that you are naturally good and love to do.
Ask yourself when are the times when time runs away from you because you are so loving what you are doing.
I can guarantee that time runs away from us when we are co-operating with ourselves being creative solving problems for other people.
Tell us how you empower yourself.
Hugs
Di Downie
