What Does Empowerment Mean to You?


Empowerment. What does that word mean to you? What motivates you? Empowerment can come from many sources in our life and is one topic that came to my mind as I was pondering what I wanted this week's post to focus on. Life can be described, in my opinion as a most profound experience,unmistakably unique, and breathtakingly beautiful. In order to find out what empowerment means to you, you must work to find answers to the other questions first. You cannot be empowered without a source of inspiration or the possession of motivation.

The answers, though hard to find at times, can only be found within YOU. There's depth to everyone's soul; we all have a story. We all have struggle. We all have our own small victories that we are proud of and thankful for. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way. Empowerment is the true joy of embracing who YOU are; owning your strengths, and working to accept and overcome your weaknesses. Life is a journey of personal growth. Sources of motivation are the battles you've fought and won in order to get where you are in life at this very moment. Inspiration comes from those who surround you; the people who love you most. Empowerment holds different significance in everyone's lives, but the sources from which we start to feel empowered are the same: the transformation starts within us.

Look around. Life has so much to offer. Don't ever focus on the negative parts of your journey; they helped shape you, and they will continue to. Don't focus to much on success either; always stay humble and appreciate everything. Be thankful. Don't ever conform into someone who doesn't stand what you stand for. Never compromise your originality, your fierceness, or most importantly: the power to be YOU.

One of my goals for Molly's Zone is to encourage, and to get people thinking about how to get the most out of their lives; sure sometimes life can be hard, but we all have something to give back to this world. You might as well make the most of what you've got. What gets you up and moving every day? Whatever it is you love to do, keep doing it. Keep being YOU. Be inspired. Be motivated. Be empowered.

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
