Since a very young age, I wanted to become a powerful woman. It was all I could think about. It's like I had no other way.

A smart one. Creative. Inspiring and helping others.

One that people respect.

Someone I look up to, more than anyone else.

Someone who is so proud of her business.

Someone who is proud to rise even tho I had a very challenging childhood.

When I look up to myself, everyone around me looks up to me.

And even if they don't - it doesn't matter, because I know the truth.

Someone I would like to become best friends with, so much so that if I were to meet a duplicate of myself, we would hit it off instantly.

To become someone like that, I needed to develop decency and authenticity, and I had to stick to my word.

If I tell myself I am going to sleep early, I actually will, because I trust myself and respect my word towards myself.

This is what it means for me - a powerful self.

What does it mean to become a powerful person for you?
