You can empower yourself if you have the knowledge of who you really are and what your real purpose in life is and accept that you have the right to be empowered. But it is also important that we touch the lives of other people in order for our lives to be more meaningful. You should get more out of your life. One way of accomplishing this is extending yourself to others who need help. This way, you are empowering others with your life.

But it is also important that you analyze first yourself if you are really a source of empowerment to others. Are you noticing the words that you speak to other people?

Are the words you speak empowering and encouraging others to be better individuals? Are you constantly looking for the best out of people or just simply notice insignificant things such as their weaknesses? Are you maintaining a good attitude? If you are a leader of your organization, your business or your household, it is your duty to create a harmonious working environment.

We all lead from where we are. In order to effectively empower other people, it is important that you take a role of leadership. The truth is all of us can be leaders in our own rights. It’s just that not all of us are ready or just hesitant or afraid to take the responsibility to lead. There are several reasons why.

It could be because of lack of confidence or self-belief, or simply because of fear. Again, we all lead from where we are. Are your words, your actions, your beliefs those of a leader? Do you engage the support of those around you? Are you motivating and energetic?

More importantly, are you making a positive difference to the world around you? Being influential also means to lead, to lead from where you are, and to have an impact on not only those around you but on the world in general.

It might sound like a big responsibility, it is, but I see the leader in you. I know you can do it. Get started today. Every good word, behaviour or deed you do to others will make a lasting effect. These are acts of empowerment, but these can also empower you as well others.

So don’t be afraid to lead and create a positive impact while reaping the rewards of self-empowerment in doing so as well…
