Look at how far you have come!  You feel awake, present, energized, and connected to yourself and life.  

 

This is empowered!

​

You are confident and prepared to face all of life's challenges, not because you will be immune to them, but because you trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way.  

​

You now look upon life as something that is happening for you, not to you, and you see all experiences as opportunities and gifts, even the painful ones.
