Child Poverty, No Light, No Education, But a teddy bear can do a lot to comfort. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, 247 million children are deprived of their basic rights, #Childpoverty is about more than just money – it’s multidimensional. For children, poverty means being deprived in crucial aspects of their lives such as nutrition, health, electricity, water, education or shelter. #UNICEF estimates that 2 in 3 children across 30 sub-Saharan countries suffer from two or more of these deprivations. #zeroXess can make the change.

Thanksgiving is a Special Day
Posted in Affection, Embraceable, Encourage, Endurance, Enlightening, tagged encouragement, faith, friendship, Gratitude, inspired, Respect, strength, Unconditionally on November 20, 2015| Leave a Comment »
Thanksgiving is a special day to celebrate families and friends we care & cherish. In most of the western world, we are as blessed as we are spoiled, I know I am. Like most of us, we get flustered ov
er the silliest things – like when my cellphone doesn’t get a good signal, when a flight is delayed or when my computer takes too long to load a website. Millions & billions of people in the world do not have the luxury of mobile phones, cannot afford air travel and do not have computers. Today, we have billions of people with no or little electricity, clean water, health care or basic education.
So how can we avoid this virus of selfish immaturity? Thankfulness is the antidote. It melts our pride and crushes our sense of entitlement.
We at Powerstorm ESS have developed electrification technologies that are affordable and sustainable for the emerging markets. We can help to improve the lives of those in most desperate need and will have tremendous impact to their wellness and our future. Let’s work together to get them the much needed Electrification.
Conquer Self-Doubt And Indecision

Time spent worrying – about anything – provides no emotional or physical benefit to us; such things only weaken us for the fights we must endure in our lives. “It’s not about being ready or feeling prepared all the time; sometimes you just have to do what you know you have to do. And when you do – you will always see that you’re more ready and more prepared than you realize”
How can you deal with self-doubt in a constructive way?
- Stop Making Excuses
The enemy is our chattering brain, which, if we give it so much as a nanosecond, will start producing excuses, alibis, transparent self-justifications, and a million reasons why we can’t/shouldn’t/won’t do what we know we need to do
- Beware Of Your Close Circle
Our circle of people may make us feel good, but they’re not always good for us. In fact, we could be a pawn in their game; unwitting accomplices in helping them achieve an unhealthy degree of power and influence over our decisions and actions.
- Raise Your Self-Awareness
Self-awareness can be developed. Spend some time recognizing areas you need to develop and intentionally making an effort to develop or strengthen that aspect of yourself.
So, how can you become more aware of your strengths and areas for development?
You could
- Rate Yourself: What do you think your strengths are?
- Ask others for feedback: Be open to hearing what others think of you.
- Complete a formal assessment test. These could include a personality test, discovering your values, your skills, and your abilities.
- Practice Self-Compassion
Self-compassion isn’t self-pity (Poor me, I shouldn’t feel this bad!) or irresponsibility (I messed up? Who cares!) or even self-esteem (As long as I succeed, I feel good). It’s about recognizing that feeling down is part of the shared human experience and mindfully refraining from judging yourself.
It’s important to listen, because the way you talk to yourself—especially when you’ve failed in some way—has an impact on your health, mood, and even your relationships with others. Do you admonish yourself for screwing up, or do you gently remind yourself that you’re only human and you’ll try harder next time?
Making mistakes, fumbling, and losing your cool are an inevitable part of the human experience—but most of us turn these slip-ups into an opportunity to beat ourselves up for being less than perfect. But when we see ourselves as a hopeless failure, we close our heart down to ourselves and to others.
- Stop Asking For Validation
- Trust Your Values

What are you Thinking

If you mind is full of chatter, you will not be able to perceive what’s in front of you. The chatter will distort and block your thinking. A little more about our thinking. Most people think that they are what their thoughts tell them they are. One day I noticed that I wasn’t breathing—I was being breathed. Then I also noticed, to my amazement, that I wasn’t thinking—that I was actually being thought and that thinking isn’t personal. Do you wake up in the morning and say to yourself, “I think I won’t think today”? It’s too late: You’re already thinking! Thoughts just appear. They come out of nothing and go back to nothing, like clouds moving across the empty sky. They come to pass, not to stay. There is no harm in them until we attach to them as if they were true.
No one has ever been able to control his thinking, although people may tell the story of how they have.
I don’t let go of my thoughts—I meet them with understanding. Then they let go of me.
Thoughts are like the breeze or the leaves on the trees or the raindrops falling. They appear like that, and through inquiry we can make friends with them. Would you argue with a raindrop? Raindrops aren’t personal, and neither are thoughts. Once a painful concept is met with understanding, the next time it appears you may find it interesting. What used to be the nightmare is now just interesting. The next time it appears, you may find it funny. The next time, you may not even notice it. This is the power of loving what is.
Access to Mobile Communication is the Difference Between Abject Poverty and Hope.

Men and women communicate differently. That is no secret. In order for women in developing countries to learn to share power with men, and thereby become more effective in promoting food security, rural development, and contribute to other societal advancement, we must become critically aware of gender-sensitive communication. These are vital building blocks that will have an impact on generations to come.
Poverty has a different definition in the emerging world than it does in developed nations. The term ‘poverty’ is used broadly in the emerging world to include lack of material resources, minimal or no access to healthcare, limited access to education and information, deprivation of civil rights, minimal — if any — access to economic growth opportunity, professional training and access to capital. In broad strokes, alleviation of proverty would mean betterment of any of these challenges, although measurement of improvement is difficult to measure. Change takes time. A fast track to addressing poverty at all of its levels is access to information. Access to mobile communication is the difference between abject poverty and hope.
This hope will quickly turn into action as newly empowered communities will have access to information beyond the traditional media of television, radio and telephone, which are now all accessible via Internet. Great personal evolution and economic growth will result when previously isolated communities reach out to the rest of the world. Likely, their shortcut to commerce come through embracing digital currencies over cumbersome microfinance instruments.
At Powerstorm Capital Corp., we see a future on the near horizon where our hybrid power solutions will greatly contribute to establishment of thriving communities throughout the emerging world.
Grace, Pride, and Beauty

Peacocks symbolize grace, pride, and beauty. They are a sign of joy for all who see them. In India, where the peacock symbolizes knowledge and wisdom, it is considered sacred. In China, where the peacock symbolizes purity, it is considered sacred. At Powerstorm Capital we present the peacock to symbolize the nature of our work, rooted as it is in striving to advance knowledge and to discover truth and wisdom.
