Powerlessness implies inactivity, like an appliance that is not plugged into its electrical current. Empowerment is about plugging into responsible choices and then acting upon them to your fullest capacity.

About This Quote

Powerlessness is the inability to act without help or permission. It implies that something is wrong that needs to be fixed. Lack of powerlessness also implies that you are powerless because someone else is controlling your life. Empowerment, on the other hand, is the giving of power, not the taking of it away.
