Powerful Women

Powerful women come in all shapes and sizes. They come in all religions, all nationalities and all colors. They are moms, they are teachers, they are pastors, politicians and store clerks. Every woman carries within her the ability for greatness and power, but how do we go about finding that? When you think about world changing women, who comes to mind? Joan of Arc? Rosa Parks? Princess Diana? Mother Theresa? Queen Elizabeth? [url="http://www.amritapuri.org/amma/wonder.php"]Amma[/url]? The list goes on forever.

What makes these women so powerful? It isn't necessarily their pride or their education. It isn't necessarily their 'Type A personality'. It isn't their looks or their financial status. It's their passion. It's their drive for life, their longing to change the things around them and better their world. Amma is a great example. This woman's only goal is to show love. She has millions of followers and all she does is kiss and hug them and tell them a small word of encouragement. She doesn't have to stand up from a pulpit and preach about love. She demonstrates it. Mother Teresa was the same way. She spent her days wtih the 'unlovely' and 'unlovable'. She had a following of people because of her passion for life and her desire to make a difference, no matter how small. She set out to change the world, one person at a time.

What makes you a woman of greatness and power? What is it within you that excites your heart, makes you come alive? Finding out what this thing is, will change your life. It will bring you a new sense of purpose and in that purpose comes your power. Whether your purpose is to change the world in a huge way or to change it by changing your children, the cause is great. No woman is without purpose. None of us without something that truly excited us. Find that thing, and set out to achieve it. Become a powerful woman of purpose!!!
