"We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated
they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate
they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free."
Kavita Ramdas
It is important to have strength in action, but also the awareness of strength it takes to stand in place. Personal power can drive us, but aught not overrun sensibility. When we are able to stand in our own power without forced engagement, compassion and passion can contribute. Ideally, strength is used to assist and contribute, not over power.
When we are able to blend the strength of the masculine with the gentleness of the feminine, strides towards peace allows respect of diverse thought and honor of cultures. Strength is not singularly about conquer and divide. True strength includes the admittance of either being wrong or not understanding. Vulnerability requires strength to be accountable, yet flexible.
Strength is necessary to step out of the shadows and into our own light. We need to be driven to accomplish purpose, but not at the expense of squashing others. Rather than using force, set up boundaries of protection that include gates for changes in comprehension. Share strength found in personal skill, joining together to move forward as individuals.
