If you don’t use it, don’t want it, or don’t need it—then toss, sell, or donate it.

What does empowerment mean to you? The online Oxford Dictionaries defines empowerment as:
Authority or power given to someone to do something
The process of becoming stronger and more condent, especially in controlling one’s life and claiming one’s rights
This meaning is two-fold—enabling empowerment and becoming empowered.
