🌺 Aloha Beautiful Soul,

Hope you are having a fabulous week and enjoying the change of season. Kevin and I are in Asheville, North Carolina, visiting family and enjoying the empowering colors of fall.

On this week's live broadcast (A Dose of Positivity), I will speak with Sophia Soule about her inspiring journey from dependency to self-determination. She will share how we can evolve from dependency to self-determination and shine in our power—being courageous, spending time in Nature, and eating a diet that supports our well-being. Like the seasons, we all change. It is up to us what direction we go that brings out our true colors.

Empowerment is the degree of autonomy and self-determination in people and in communities. This enables them to represent their interests in a responsible and self-determined way, acting on their own authority.

Self-empowerment is about investing in yourself to ensure that you properly manage yourself no matter what life throws you.

You may not consistently achieve your goal, but your life will be your own, richer and more enjoyable when you commit to chasing your dreams. Whenever you think of starting your journey on the road to personal fulfillment, the first step is to make that commitment to self-empowerment.

Let's review some of the key benefits of self-empowerment.

Self-Awareness

Self-awareness is a benefit and also a requirement of self-empowerment. As you learn more about yourself, your goals, beliefs and values, this knowledge empowers you to live your most authentic life.

Take Control Of Your Life

It is the difference between things happening to you, and you happening to things. Self-empowerment empowers you to take control of your life. Self-determination enables you to stop waiting for things to happen in your life but instead make sure they happen.

The Power Of Choice

When you begin the journey towards self-empowerment, you start to see that you have the power of choice. Perhaps even more importantly, you begin to appreciate the significance of having the power of choice. Your life is your own, meaning you can choose anything within it. The ability to choose frees us and allows us to thrive, even when we make mistakes, because, from those mistakes, we grow the most.

Feel Like A Badass

There is no greater feeling than the feeling of being self-empowered. Confident, strong, capable, proactive, "I can," "I will," ambitious, self-supportive, etc. it checks all those power words and then some, which always feels incredible.

Guides Your Decisions

When you are self-empowered, you make better decisions. When you are determined, you not only feel more confident in your choices, but with clarity of your goals, those decisions will serve you well.

Sense Of Direction

If you're going to be happy, you must structure your life around who you are and what rocks your world. Then you can pursue your objectives and goals with determination. Pursuing other people's ambitions will never bring you true fulfillment. Self-empowerment gives you that sense of direction.

Clarity

Clarity comes with self-empowerment. You have a better understanding of your goals and can rapidly determine which work will yield the best results, given the resources you have at the time. Prioritization gets more manageable as your personal development progresses. Multiple tasks constantly battle for your attention, even if your sense of direction improves.

Enhanced Resilience

Life can be challenging at times. You must have the skills and traits to deal with difficult situations when they arise successfully. Self-empowerment will not be able to keep all negative things from happening, but it will assist you in dealing with them in positive, courageous, and proactive ways when they do.

You'll have more self-assurance, resilience, and interpersonal and personal skills to deal with any situation.

Never Be Anyone's Doormat

Self-empowered people are self-driven. They are not people pleasers, nor are they doormats serving others. They value themselves. And, of course, with that kind of mindset, they become better friends, lovers, parents, spouses, etc.

Fulfilling Relationships

Relationships have two sides to them. You are either lifted or dragged down by them. You'll see which connections are valuable and the ones you need to be given the boot as your self-empowerment progresses. You also learn how to maximize the benefits of the relationships that impact your life the most.

"Compost the ones that don't serve you and nourish the ones that do."

Conclusion

Self-empowerment is about devoting your time and making the plan to invest in your most valuable asset — yourself. Many people overlook self-empowerment, but this is a mistake. It is one of your most valuable assets and skills in living your best life and being your best self.

The most prominent achievers in life understand that the ability to manage oneself with determination is the key to success. Self-empowerment is what gives you that ability. Learn to trust your judgment, make your own decisions, and not second guess yourself. There is no one like you. Take the time to know who you are, what you love to do, and what purposeful why can do for yourself and the world. Remember, YOU’RE Awesome!
