Encouraging Words for Women to Inspire Empowerment
TheMerriam-Webster Dictionarydefinesempowermentas,“the act or action ofempoweringsomeone or something:the granting of the power, right, or authority to perform various acts or duties; the state of being empowered to do something:the power, right, or authority to do something.”
Wikipediagoes into further detail about the word and says,“It is the process of becoming stronger and more confident, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’srights. Empowerment as action refers both to the process of self-empowerment and to professional support of people, which enables them to overcome their sense of powerlessness and lack of influence, and to recognize and use their resources.”
Today, the term seems to be somewhat trendy in many aspects.
It can refer to empowering groups of people who have traditionally been marginalized. It can refer to advocacy for continuing education and self-help for communities who want to take control of their circ*mstances. And it can simply refer to encouragement and support for someone who is feeling less than confident.
One of my favorite uplifting quotes of empowerment comes from Mother Teresa:
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
Whatever empowerment means to you, I invite you to use these strong women quotes to find your strength and confidence, as well as share these encouraging words for women and uplifting quotes to inspire others to feel empowered!

Quotes to Inspire Your Happiness in Life
According to theMerriam-Webster Dictionary, the meaning of happiness is “a state of well-being and contentment, joy; a pleasurable or satisfying experience.“
I think we all strive to be happier in life, right? As Anne Frank said, “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.” She makes it sound rather easy, right?
Sometimes it’s harder than others, but inspirational quotes can help you stay focused on how to be happier.
Happiness requires a positive, grateful, and happy mindset. Training your mind to think about the positive, happy things in your life will help you create a more pleasant life.
Whereas, a mindset of negativity is going to attract unhappiness in your life.

Gratitude Can Change Your Life: Be Inspired
Yale Center for Emotional Intelligencedefines gratitude as “a state of mind that arises when you affirm a good thing in your life that comes from outside yourself.”
It is widely believed across the field of psychology that gratitude is connected to happiness, overall success in life, and better health. It helps you stay more present, mindful, and grounded to the joy about you.
“Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Positive Words of Wisdom to Inspire Your Best Life
Positivity is the key to all good things! But what exactly does that mean?
A Google search gives us a great definition for positivity: 1) the practice of being, or tendency to be, positive or optimistic in attitude.
This quote by Isaiah Hankel also resonates with me and provides great information about having a positive attitude:
“Being positive, or having a positive attitude, doesn’t mean you live in Candyland. Positive people have real problems, too. They get angry. They challenge people and fight hard for what they believe in. Positivity is not about wearing rose-colored glasses and rolling over when the going gets tough. It’s about being strong. It’s about being self-aware and accountable for your emotional state.”
Positive thinking will always get you further in life than negative thinking. But sometimes we need a simple reminder like the quotes below.
