Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
Moving Foward
Since I have joined I Power I have consistently been active reading the old and new discussions. This post though, is to encourage new members (such as myself) to add more to the discussions as well as creating your own. This is my first post and until recently I had always avoided making a post; being that everyone on here seemed far more advanced in their writing style and that I was young. I have always realized that there can be a contribution from everyone and this is mine. So I ask all you members who read regularly and those who do not, to contribute your thoughts to I Power, to help the site and future sites to flourish with your information, experience and stories. You only have something to gain. Take the criticisms well and grow so that your post may inspire someone, someday as many on here have you.

Everyone has something to give. Writing style doesn't trump good information. I'm looking forward to seeing your future posts.
