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.
