To Be A Strong Woman

"It's not always necessary to be strong,

but to feel strong."

Jon Krakauer

To be a strong woman requires boundaries, awareness and determination; however, it does not always involve physical endurance.  The power of a male tends to be physical, whereas a woman's strength can be more of a presence through intention.

Boundaries need to be in place, but they also need to be flexible.  It requires strength to both expand and contract.  If our awareness is too small, we are not able to yield our power in a normal flow.  The commitment we make to empowerment of the self must be just as important as experiencing the power of others.

Power can be a negative when held over another person.  It can also be a positive when used to serve one in need.  So power is not an absolute.  There is no need to be exhausted while maintaining personal power as it certainly is not about physical strength.
