Empowering and Motivating

Wow! I know it has been quite a while since my last blog post(the last day of last year to be exact) but here it is. Last week, I had a conversation with my girlfriend about what are the distinct differences between feeling empowered and feeling motivated. Some of you out there may believe that the two are the same and that is fine but here is my take on it: I believe feeling empowered and feeling motivated are different but while they are different you need both of them in your life's journey to live in your passion.

During our conversation, my girlfriend expressed to me that feeling empowered is for a person to feel compelled to do an action or finally getting off their behinds and "physically" doing something that he or she has always wanted to do but was never empowered to do so. And feeling motivated is having the courage to continue to be empowered. Feeling motivated to do something is that thing in the morning time that makes us realize that what we are during is worth our time, sweat, blood and tears.

I like to compare feeling empowered and motivated to a quote that is extremely dear to me and I would like to share it with you guys if you have not already read it previously to this blog post, here it is: Vision without action is merely a dream; action without vision just passes the time but vision with action can change the world.

I believe that this is true; I believe feeling empowered is action and feeling motivated to a degree is having the vision to see things through. You need the two of them to really make positive change in your life and it is my hope that those of you that read this blog post are blessed this year to feel empowered and motivated to change the world in your daily lives.

Good day and Good luck.
