Powerful women are everywhere in today’s society. They are that little reminder we need in this world that reminds us of who we are and what we could be. Regardless of whether or not we consider ourselves to be powerful women, it a universal fact that we are all inspired by them.

Through hard work and perseverance, these women have created the ultimate lifestyle for themselves. How? Upon learning the following five habits, you will soon be able to build the lifestyle you’ve always wanted for yourself.

1. They believe in supporting, not comparing

Social media has made it nearly impossible to not know what someone is doing at all times. It takes just one tap or screenshot to share what you or someone else is doing with the world. In a world like this, it’s hard not to compare yourself to the successes and decisions of others. This is toxic to our growth. Powerful women seek to support instead of compare. It opens the door to many opportunities for them to grow and feel inspired by the successes of others instead of threatened.

2. They have a thirst for challenge

The biggest obstacle between most people and their goals is the sole fear of failure. However, fear has no chance against a powerful woman. Their fear is replaced with a thirst for risk, as they search for opportunities to challenge themselves every day.

To them, failure is simply viewed as a step closer to getting what they want. Experiences for them are obtained through trial and error, and they’re constantly breeding new experiences through their non-stop learning. Life hasn’t been lived if they haven’t stepped out of their comfort zone.

3. They believe in accountability

Creating goals for yourself is pointless if you don’t hold yourself accountable for actually achieving it. The powerful woman crafts a gameplan for herself, and instead of waiting to make a move, they’re already proactive and pursuing their desires.

They understand that they must live in the present, and instead of waiting for life to happen, they take control and force life to happen; this can be in the form of sticking to the budget they’ve created for themselves or taking a couple hours a week off to dedicate themselves to a greater career or life goal. They make the conscious effort to better themselves and take charge of their own luck and success.

4. They know how to communicate

Powerful women are the physical embodiment of effective communication. They seamlessly fit into any social setting and can carry a conversation with anyone about anything since they have a vast knowledge and innate curiosity to constantly learn.

Not only do they know what to say, but they also know how to say it, their warm body language making them easy to approach. Regardless the situation she’s in, the powerful woman knows how to clearly communicate to make others truly want to listen and understand.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
