What does being powerful mean to me?

I’m not sure if I’m using the word in its exact meaning, but powerful to me means being able to take care of myself. Is that weird?

I feel powerful when I know I’m okay. I have money in the bank, a job and projects on the go I enjoy. I might be using the word powerful in place of secure but I don’t think so for me. Secure is I’m okay at this time. Nothing major. Powerful is I’m more than okay. More than secure. I am meeting all my needs right now and for the foreseeable future. That is powerful for me. Keeping myself safe. Doing things I enjoy. I’m doing it and making it happen on my own. Powerful.

You can always start now!
