Self-Empowerment: Becoming the Driving Force for Your Life

Wikipedia defines empowerment as 'the capacity of individuals and/or communities to take control of their circumstances, exercise power and achieve their own goals. It is the process by which they are able to help themselves and others to maximise the quality of their lives’. I see self-empowerment as having the capacity to take conscious control of your unique set of circumstances and mitigating and/or leveraging them to create opportunities for yourself.
