Happy Empowerment - Ep. 391

Providing encouragment and support to others feels Nice, 
And so you provide empowerment not once but twice.

Ep. 391 - Happy Empowerment

We begin as always 
with the Happy Creed.

We believe in Happy, 
in Balance and Growth, 
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.

My Happy Friends!

There’s two kinds of empowerment upon which I shall report,
Those you give others, and those you give yourself, being the two I shall name,
The kind you give others contains encouragement and support, 
While the kind you give to yourself contains exactly the same.

I am always trying to streamline complicated processes that frustrate and irk,
I don’t break the rules, I just try to find loopholes where people seldom look,
And as a result I often come up with new ways of solving problems at work,
And then I write down those protocols so I can train others with my little guidebook.

But I often find that others would rather that I continue to do those tasks still,
And they don’t even bother reading my directions even when I add a cartoon,
Turns out they don’t want to be empowered to do some things and never will,
So, I seek my own empowerment elsewhere to find an escape that can’t come too soon.

So, I write, and I draw--and I sing and dance too but that’s just for fun,
I do these works to empower myself, to encourage and someday support, hopefully, too,
And I share them because if they can encourage this human I know I can’t be the only one,
And going by the encouraging feedback, that which empowers me also empowers you!

Happy Empowerment is that supportive encouragement that helps me and you cope,
“If this guy can do it, then I should be able to as well,” is what you may well say,
I don’t have my ideal career, freedoms or family life and yet I still allow myself to hope,
And I share that hope with others through art and the Inherently Happy Way.

And sharing can be its own form of empowerment--it feels Nice,
So, I encourage you to utilize the same methods that I myself employ,
Namely to be empowering not once but twice,
First by giving encouragement and support to others and in so doing increasing your own joy.
