I suppose everyone imagines power in their own way. Power has several meanings. We know we are strong when we bring a heavy bag from the store, do some hard work, etc.
But we can also be strong when:
1. We do not tolerate the things and people that hurt our souls.
2. Take time for ourselves when we suffer.
3. We respect our emotions by allowing ourselves to express and feel them.
4. We ask for help when the burden on our shoulders becomes too heavy.
5. We give ourselves permission to meet our needs by setting boundaries.
I think I could list it because there are so many things we need to show our strength.

I’m the same, so many things hurt me
I really enjoy this post. I will take these to heart and become a stronger person.
I’m very glad you liked the post. Hope it helps you.
There are certain levels to being strong I feel as to what we deal with. Some experience things at an early age giving them more strength than others.
I agree. Everyone feels the power differently and in different situations. Life experiences make us stronger.
Such a wonderful perspective on strenght!
Thank you. These are simple tips.
I have not always considered myself strong, but in the last twenty years or so I have never thought of myself as anything but strong. I have learned from my experiences and grown. I live by my own rules .
You are right. With each new life experience, we become stronger.
Being strong is a powerful way to face the world.
the strong take time to help those that struggle!
the stong is the guide for those that cannot be strong.
from strength comes compassion!
Wonderful thoughts. I totally agree.
i borrowed them from Dr. King, changed them a bit, but from strength comes compassion, from strength, comes the concern, are his words!
Physically, I think I’m strong enough …. psychologically, I don’t think I’m that strong
Unfortunately, psychic power is also important.
And this one is often very important, dear Vida
I believe in the norm ‘Survival of the fittest’
I agree. The fittest survive.
When my soul mate suddenly passed away in Latvia I had to sink or swim. So I had to gather enormous strength to get myself through those first tough days. And now on my own, I have to keep being strong because there is no one else to take care of me, but me.
I understand you. I too was suddenly left alone. We really need a lot of power at such a time.
Right now I am not strong. I am hurting. While I am trying to focus on healing I am not there yet. It’s a journey and it might take time.
I understand you. You have had many difficult times and you need time. I know it from my own experience.
Many, many people tell me all the time how strong I am. Most days I do not feel that way. But I look back at what I have survived and believe that perhaps I am strong and a survivor.
I agree. How we are strong, we can see our past events.
