One of the best qualities of empowered women is that they know what they want in their life. They are aware of their goals and works day and night to achieve said goals. The goals can be related to family or her child or her career, but they know what they want and how they can get it.
If you want to be in control of your life, it is time that you sit with yourself, and find out what your goals in life are. Aim for high goals and work towards achieving them.

If you are constantly sick, working towards your goals becomes a lot harder. That is why giving time to your mind and body to heal is necessary. Be kind to yourself and look after yourself.

If you feel sick, don’t push it because you have work or need to attend to family. Prioritize yourself once in a while to remain healthy.
- Learn to say no
When you keep saying yes to people and assist them, people start taking advantage of you. Know that saying no to some things doesn’t make you a bad person. It just shows that you are human too, and there are certain things you can’t help people with. Also, if you think doing something is morally wrong, don’t do it no matter what. If you keep doing others work, you won’t have time for yourself, and your work will suffer.
Remember no one will be able to help you if you don’t help yourself. It is never too late to recognize the potential you have and use it to regain control of your life. If you are unhappy with a certain aspect of your life, take a stand and change it now before it takes over your life. Make it beautiful and remain positive, and you will become empowered.
