Before I start talking about being powerful let me say what I thing it is. To me I think It's being able to stand tall and to have your head held high in situation where you could have been crying or weak, It is also to have a voice to speak your truths and not being afraid to be criticized or ridicule for it. There are other ways of being powerful

being powerful to me has nothing to do with money because you can be rich and still not be powerful. It is having a mind of your own and stick by what you believe in. It's pursuing what you want and not giving up when It doesn't work. It is persistence and hard work.
Being powerful is being who you are and not apologize for it. Yes there are other girls or other people who have way more than you, they could be bigger,skinnier, smarter, taller but none of them is you and that is your power, if you believe in you than you are already powerful.
After all it is being able to stand back up after a fall. It is being able to stand on your own when no one is standing by your side.
