Most of us have perceptions about how strong we are. Here is what being strong means to me.
A strong person is one who though afraid, is willing to move forward and willing to accept pain in order to do the right things.[for him and others around too !!!] People who cry, who reach for help [may need some motivation], who use the knowledge available to them to improve their own lives, are strong in my view.
Sometimes we need to take a tough decision, a decision that may hurt. A strong person will take that decision even though he may end up days in agony and pain. Doing the right thing, even though painful makes us strong.
We all make mistakes in life. [Yeah, Even I !!, have made mistakes :D]. What we think when things go wrong, determines if we are strong or not. Strong persons show courage in the midst of their fear. They realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings. They accept mistakes, correct them and move on. Accepting mistakes is Strong!
Being truthful, forgiving, and caring for someone who needs it, is strong !! Being a calm influence, someone who can inspire, is strong! Anybody having a positve look and rational thinking is strong! One, who corrects one's own opinion, is strong! [People rarely do it.] Confused people are strong enough to challenge their thoughts. Stubborn people, who know it all, are weak. They are weak because they can not dare to test their own thoughts/beliefs.
It is the strength of character, of virtue, of generosity that makes you strong. If something bad happnes and tears roll down your eyes, if some situation scares you and you feel overwhelmed, that does not make you weak. If you get over all the bad things and end up doing the right thing in your own eyes, then you are indeed strong !! People who are nice, soft spoken are strong. They may not realize it. But, it is just a small matter of believing !
Ending with this note:
"I can handle anything that life throws at me - I may not be able to handle it well, or correctly, or gracefully, or with finesse, or expediently - but I will handle it. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!!!!!." --- Anonymous.
