Personal empowerment means taking control of your life. It is about more than just feeling able to do so, though this is an important element.

True personal empowerment requires you to set meaningful goals to identify what you want from life, and then take action to achieve those goals and have more impact over the world around you. Personal empowerment gives you the right path to success. It’s more than just feelings. It is a mindset that helps you improve yourself.
