Living an Empowered Life |

Self-empowerment is key to self-actualizing. If we want to lead our best lives, make an impact in whatever area we choose, then we absolutely and completely must accept that it is our choices and decisions that will give us power. People who cannot accept this will continually find themselves victims of circumstance, powerless to do anything about their lives and the situations in which they find themselves. |
