Action, whether it is about making a decision or actually doing something, is empowering. I believe that our actions are based on the social structure of the our lives - a function of timing and environment - it is as much as our culture and socialization as it is movement. However, doing something - mobility - is one of the most important types of action we can take. It helps us learn our strengths and weaknesses (both literally and figuratively). It helps us understand our place in the world and ourselves better.
