Are you living up to your full potential?
Are there aspects of your life that you wish you could improve?
If you are tired of living your life by the standards of others, it is time to make the changes necessary to live the life you deserve. I have yet to meet one woman from the many I have worked with over the years that believes she is using her full potential. You must decide to start living your life and bring purpose to it by finding out what matters most to you.
You need to become self-empowered.
Self-empowerment calls for a self-evaluation of your true values and aspirations.
What do you want to achieve today, next week, next year, five years from now?
What do you value and do you live in harmony with those values?
Are you doing anything today that will ensure a better tomorrow?
What do you want out of life?
What is your passion?
You need to be able to answer all of these questions in a way that resonates with who you truly are. If you are not happy with your life today, and you don’t take steps to change it, how can anything be different in the future?
Are you ready to take action and decide "enough is enough" and that today you will commit to doing whatever it takes to change your life and become self–empowered?
“When you know yourself, you are empowered. Only then you are in control of your life.”
In my best selling book Not You? How to Become an Empowered Woman,I discuss the different areas of self empowerment every woman needs to be in control of their life. I believe every woman deserves to be happy, healthy, and do meaningful work regardless of who they are, where they were born or background. To begin your journey towards empowerment, you need to know who you are and want you want out of life. As you examine your values, goals, and dreams you'll learn about which areas needs your attention. At the end of the day, however, you understand that there is no single way to achieve overall happiness and success and no one can do it for you. Your journey is your own to experience it, and live it as you please. Happiness is a journey. It's your life's journey. Live it Up.
“A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman.”
-Melinda French Gates
The good news is that self-empowerment is a skill we can all learn. We can cultivate the strategies, habits, and attitudes we need to design a life based on your own values, dreams and goals. As an empowered woman you'll be in control of your life.
You are confident.
You have a voice.
You'll no longer look for a "Like" approval or permission to be your best self and do your best work. You know who you are. You just need to be better than yesterday, learn from mistakes, take risks and enjoy the journey. You need to like you. Do you like you? Actually, do you love YOU?
So, are you ready to become empowered and in control of your life?
