Your words are powerful.

The words and phrases that you use every day can be a powerful tool for empowering people. For a start, stop being apologetic and start being appreciative.

Do you know that you play a crucial role in the lives of the people you interact with every day? Simple gestures such as a smile or nod can make someone’s day enjoyable. It's up to you, you can decide to be a positive influence on someone.

Empowerment is one of the best things you can do for other people. It is not all about giving out money or teaching life skills,  you can start by refraining from criticizing and judging people. Instead of being cynical, praise the student that is struggling to rise from the bottom of the class for every small progress made. Irrespective of how slight the progress might be.

 Adopting a mindset of empowerment is crucial to empowering other people. This new paradigm believes that anyone can become better through hard work, excellent strategies, and mentorship. Empowering others demands that you accept the flaws in you and others as well. Knowing that our diversified strengths, weaknesses, talents, flaws, imperfections, and other idiosyncrasies make up our unique personas.

 On the final note, you can empower others by standing with them in good times and bad times. Praise their accomplishment and encourage them when they fall short. People might forget your words and the things you did, but they will remember the way you make them feel forever. So change your language to reflect empowerment. Rather than saying, “I’m sorry for coming late,” say “thank you for waiting for me.”

 At the end of the day, when you empower people, you are also empowering yourself. After all, what goes around comes around, Isn't it?
