To be personally empowered means that you are in the lead of your own life, and not allowing others or systems to control it for you. This requires you to identify what you really want from life and to be able to set meaningful goals to achieve what you wish and to create more impact in the world around you. When you are empowered, you have the knowledge, confidence, means, and the ability to do things or make decisions for yourself. You live your life to the fullest using your talents and gifts, doing what you love to do most and you are able to express that without shame or fear.
