Just a little thought provoking question, but I would love to know your responses on what you honestly think makes a person strong, and why we are so quick to say "Oh you are strong, you can handle this".....
Thanks!

I honestly believe the hard things that come to us in life,and the bad things that happen to us,the disappointments we go through,and all the things that life its self puts us through,people doing us wrong the injudgtist everything hard that we go through,I think that is what makes us strong....We cry and complain and get mad when things happen and then we bare up under it and we gain strength...

a person is as strong as they have needed to be in the past. if a person has to push through the death of a loved pet then they are stronger after the fact than they were before. if a person has to strugle through a natural disaster like a ice storm that puts the power out for a week and confines them to there home for several days, the first ones tough but then if it happens again its not such a big deal.

No one is actually strong, it's just that some people have stronger convictions than others. Like everyone always says, it's not what you believe in, but how much. Everyone is vulnerable. No one needs something tragic to happen to them to feel strong all of a sudden. It's just that those who successfuly deal with a tragic situation reinforce in themselves logical, rational action.

I would say that courage, resiliency, and self-confidence are all components of inner strength. Many times I believe the "You're strong, you can handle this..." line is used in a manipulative way. Other times, though, it's a form of platitude we dysfunctionally offer to someone we care enough about to try and placate.

The reason people say "Oh you are strong, you can handle this"..... is because they don't want to do it themselves.
There are different forms of strong, mental, physical and I've meet a few that smell strong.

A person who has complete control over his Mind, Senses, emotions, thoughts, actions will be strong.
He should be well educated, it is the ignorant people who are weak. One should have pure mind and healthy body, he should have noble thoughts and should not hurt himself and others not even in his thoughts.
Sometimes the feeling of guilty can make people weak so it is very important to be righteous and honest.

Only for people who have a strong sense of INSECURITY will think of ways to make themselves strong.
LOVE makes a person strong.

The ancient Vedic Scriptrures say that Fearlessness makes one strong and that comes by your firm faith in the Supreme God.

Life's lessons make a person stronger, when someone has gone through something tragic and come out of it with more knowledge and a better character, that makes them stronger.

the ability to overcome their difficulties, domestic violence, child abuse, drug addiction etc and be able to carry on and live a "normal" life instead of using what they have been through as an excuse when things go wrong!
