What Makes A Woman Strong?

I have been thinking a lot about strength since the blog challenge set by a fellow 12WBTer recently and as I learn more about Mish’s 12WBT Lean & Fit and Lean & Strong programs.

I have been asking myself What Makes A Woman Strong? What makes ME strong? Inside and out?? Keen to hear your thoughts on this!   I came across a few quotes and poems that really resonated with me. It is an interesting question to consider!

“A strong woman is a woman determined to do something that others are determined not be done” – Marge Piercy

“A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey – but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong” – anonymous

Both of these speak loudly to me right now as I am mentally preparing for some big challenges.

There are some things that I have no control over or no choice about right now, however, I I CAN CHOOSE to have faith that it is in this journey, no matter how bumpy, that I will become stronger.

I CHOOSE TO BE A WOMAN OF STRENGTH

Do you?  A bit more food for thought below…

A Woman of Strength

A strong woman works out every day

to keep her body in shape

but a woman of strength looks deep inside

to keep her soul in shape

A strong woman isn’t afraid

of anything

but a woman of strength shows courage

in the midst of her fear

A strong woman won’t let anyone

get the best of her

but a woman of strength gives the best

of her to everyone

A strong woman makes mistakes

and avoids the same in the future

but a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes

can also be blessings and capitalizes on them

A strong woman walks

sure footedly

but a woman of strength knows

when to ask for help

A strong woman wears the look

of confidence on her face

but a woman of strength

wears grace

A strong woman has faith

that she is strong enough for the journey

but a woman of strength has faith

that it is in the journey that she will become strong
