What does being mentally strong really mean?
Have you ever thought about it?
Society expects you to be strong, according to it, being strong means to never cry infront of people, it means to never show what you fear, and lastly it means to take the lead and force others to follow you..
In today’s life people tend to show, what they pretend to be… The question is .. Is this what really makes you strong? Of course not.. Pretending to be something on the outside which doesn’t resonate with what you feel on the inside, is not called, to be strong.. It simply means you aren’t.. If you are something, you would not try so hard to be it, right?
I think, being strong means to have the courage, the courage to do what you feel like to be right and be responsible for it, the ability to not let other things and other people affect your thought, the courage to take your own decisions and face the world all by yourself, and lastly the courage to be able to express your feelings infront of everyone and anyone.. Crying infront of anyone doesn’t make you weak, it shows you have the courage to express your emotions and not be ashamed of it.. Its not about being stone hearted, where you don’t get affected by inhumane circumstances, its about gracefully accepting all that happens, as a part of life..
Being strong has nothing to do with. the volume of your speech but your volume of thought… Meaning its not about how much you can speak, its about how much you can think of and act on it.. Its about taking your own decisions and to have the courage to exhibit it no matter what, others might think.. Its about having, what it takes to be responsible, for all what you have done and you intend to..
So do you really think you’re mentally strong?
As far as I am concerned, i would say, i am working towards not making myself act strong, but to have the courage to accept my weaknesses, in order to grow into being more stronger than I was yesterday…
In order to make yourself stronger, you need to know your weaknesses and work on to make them your strength..
Just remember,
Neglecting the truth and pretending the fake.. Doesn’t make you mentally strong….
