A Must Read: Every Woman Earns Every Bit Of Their Strength

Today I'm deliberately celebrating every strong woman out there (especially the ones in my life, no offense) who has been through thick and thin in their own small world.

To the strong women;

✓ Who consciously put effort into making sure their lives are better at each passing day, the ones who at the verge of giving up stayed stronger and fearful, the ones who do not let rejection deter them; they push through criticism until they reach their desired destination (these ones make sure their self-worth isn't hinged on the judgments of others).

✓Who honor their inherent creativity as a divine gift. However dark or painful, they dig deep into themselves and mine the unique contributions they have to offer up to the world.

✓Who recognize that not everyone has good intentions. They put their intuition to work, they ask the right questions, and they keep both eyes open. They are sharp, quick-witted and discerning.

✓Who are able to tell the truth about their past because they've committed to learning from it while guiding others. They view the past as WISDOM instead of shame.

✓Who carve out their earthly successes by helping other women succeed. They see their life-force as plentiful and they help their fellow women surpass them with humility, not envy. They do not force their opinions on others.

✓And finally, to the strong women who rise from the ashes of their former selves. They are built from the fires of hardship and struggle and they earn every bit of their strength.

Our strength isn't built in a gym- it's built from the trials and tests we encounter in our lives.

How would you define true strength? What makes a woman strong? I would love to read your comments!
