Raun K. Kaufman, an international speaker, writer and teacher for The Option Institute and The Son-Rise Program® at the Autism Treatment Center of America™, lays out clear and compelling reasons to stop apologizing for what we want. Apologizing actually disempowers us and holds us back from going for and getting what we want. When we STOP apologizing, we empower ourselves to live a much more fulfilling life.
How many times have you set your sites on something huge, something amazing, knowing that this is it, that you're really going for it . . . only to find yourself back in the same situation? Perhaps it's the job that you didn't apply for because you "knew" you wouldn't get it, or the date that surely would have turned you down or the lifelong dream to be a musician, a writer or an entrepreneur but you never got around to it.
In the personal development program, Empower Yourself, given only at The Option Institute. you will develop the confidence and skills to bring your greatest dreams to life -- dreams that you may never even have been willing to acknowledge previously.
"Empower Yourself rocks! I loved it. I was challenged to be the best of who I am, and given the tools to stay that way. The staff is generous, persistent and a model of empowerment. I leave here standing tall, feeling courageous and excited to interact with life and create what I want."
~Sean Williams, Teacher, England
Too often, our wants are neither expressed nor fulfilled -- destined to become longings within us -- unless we empower them!
You may be at a crossroads in your life and in need of some real mental firepower to proactively navigate it. You might be stalled in your pursuit of an important goal. Or maybe you've noticed that you have difficulty standing strong for what you want when faced with opposition.
In Empower Yourself, you will acquire concrete tools for pursuing what you want, especially when formidable obstacles stand in your way. Even more importantly, you will have ample opportunity throughout the week to practice utilizing these tools. Dynamic, challenging, and fun, Empower Yourself is like filling up on rocket fuel for your life. You will leave inspired, powerful, and ready to take action and surmount the challenges before you.
Empower Yourself will enable you to:
-Be a truly resourceful and resilient person
-Face any uphill battle with comfort, focus, energy, and decisiveness
-Try out principles while you are here so you can work out kinks and concerns before returning home
-Apply what you learn specifically to the areas of career, health, family, and relationships
-Stand up for what you believe, even when others disagree, push back, or appear angry
-Adopt the Empowered Person life tools, which will give you specific steps to pursue what you want without hesitation or apology - while still being okay if you don't get it
"Empowering Yourself has all to do with looking at your own issues; why don't you feel empowered? In this program there is a loving, accepting atmosphere, with all sorts of opportunities to learn more of yourself, believe what you want and grow from there. Extremely useful in every day life, relations and work!" -Ria van Rooijen, Sports Physician, Netherlands
The personal growth and development programs at The Option Institute are engaging, interactive and dynamic. We believe in experiential training versus conventional lectures and seminars. As a student, you are not an observer, but rather, an active learner and participant.
The Option Institute is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1983 by best-selling author (Happiness Is A Choice) Barry Neil Kaufman and Samahria Lyte Kaufman. Located on a pastoral 100-acre campus nestled in the beautiful Berkshires of western Massachusetts, our property offers trail hikes, waterfalls, wildlife, woodlands, elegant sunrises and breathtaking vistas.

Love: Myths and Misconceptions - The Option Instituteby optionvideodept1,190 views
I needed a place to learn not to really look at myself but imagine that I did, to show me how to feel okay about myself without having to re-experience my painful past, where I could reparent myself using Bears and Samaria who would re-raise me and allow me to think my childhood was wonderful, where I could use their technique with other Option people night and day after the program and imagine a wonderful future even if it never happened. Yes Option is a cult but who cares, I feel good.
