There are things we encounter in life that inspire us. It could be something as simple as an encouraging smile or as drastic as a swift kick to get going by someone that cares. Wherever is comes from we should be grateful to have these reasons to push ourselves further. 
Some may wonder, "Why the need to have something outside of yourself to push you?" In a perfect world we would never have to face discouragement or be confronted by things that would get in the way of our motivation, but sometimes things do get in our way. It is up to us whether or not we allow these things to prevent us from accomplishing what we desire. THAT does come from within us and can't be borrowed from any outside source.
When events,  people,  or something within our own hearts touch us in such a way as to motivate us,  we have been empowered. 
Being empowered,  drawing strength and determination to get involved in our vision,  everything that would equip us to move towards action is the meaning of empowerment. 
Taking that action,  getting off our butts to literally DO something,  now - that is another thing entirely. Empowerment means nothing unless is it used. It is like having a fresh pack of batteries for a flashlight but never clicking the button to turn it on. 
When you are empowered and you feel it,  don't hesitate but let your light shine.
