Empower yourself through Empowering others.
This is Lesson 11 within Russell Simmons book, Do You and it makes me think and all the things I do and for the first time it sheds a new light on things. I would always look at the manner in which I aided people in distress. And how I has always there to save my people when situations got ugly. And I'd take a sense of purpose and strength from it all. My Batman mentality so to speak. But in this statement I've realized its more then that. I'm there not merely to save but to empower. I'm there to make sure my people get to a point where their issues an be handled without my intervention. Through their advancement and growth so too do I get better. The more we empower each other the more we all grow.Power through the mind, body or spirit.Perhaps through better business and parenting. I'm learning to not merely provide the food but to show folk how to cook.(Horrible example cuz cooking is not one of my specialties but you get the point.)

I've always liked the aura that he gives off personally. I duno what it is, maybe with him being so at peace and centered with himself and life, he just looks like water of a ducks back with situations (e.g. his ex wife lol) But his book must be something good and worth investing in.
"I'm there not merely to save but to empower. I'm there to make sure my people get to a point where their issues an be handled without my intervention. Through their advancement and growth so too do I get better. The more we empower each other the more we all grow." - simply beautiful.
