Lao Tzu said
"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power."
Self-mastery means empowering yourself. Do everything you can to feel empowered. Do the smallest thing and the biggest thing. Know that you are empowered to face every challenge that life brings. Connect to your own boundless inner strength, and see the limitations of the outside world fall away. Ground to the earth and feel her supporting you. Meditate and feel how infinite and limitless you really are. Explore the universe of your mind. Take your mask off and feel how empowering it is to love and accept your naked face. Let your armour fall away and feel your strength in vulnerability. Open your heart and feel compassion for all the parts of yourself that you have rejected and buried in the shadows. Overcome shame and blame. Heal your wounds. Wake up and see how perfectly imperfect you really are. Love yourself. Escape victimhood, it comes from the drug of despair. Embrace empowerment, it comes with the ecstacy of liberation. You are divine - say it in front of the mirror until that involuntary squirm becomes a smile. Now fearlessly go out into the world and speak your truth, inspire with love. Remind humanity of its divinity. This is what it means to feel truly empowered. You are that person, you are that powerful.
