ARE YOU THINKING STRONG ABOUT YOURSELF?

8 Signs you’re thinking strong:

1. BEING RESPECTFUL: To be kind and respectful to some may mean you’re a pushover or a people pleaser. Showing compassion or helping someone takes courage. You may not get help back or that person may say they don’t want help. Strong individuals take those risks.
2. ACKNOWLEDGING YOUR WEAKNESS: That does not mean putting yourself down but speaking the truth. you’re just admitting your strong enough to admit your imperfections or weakness to take positive action to develop a plan.
3. BEING PATIENT: The patient is often confused with inactivity or a lack of ambition. Emphasis on “hustle” “give that 110%” is all around us.  The truth of reaching big goals-like going back to school, getting out of debt, or getting in shape takes time and patient. Change doesn’t happen overnight so exercising the patience to get there takes strength.
4. ASKING FOR HELP: Saying “I can’t do this on my own” is a real act of courage. Asking for help requires humility and strength of character.
5. FAILING: Making mistakes and failing means you’re challenging yourself..a sign of strength. View failures as evidence you’re stretching yourself as far as you can.
6. EXPRESSING EMOTIONS: Showing emotion, being passionate, understanding admitting pain your dealing with is strength.
7. WALKING AWAY:      It takes strength to step away from something that isnt working out-especially when you’ve devoted a lot of resources to a task (or a person). By walking awaymight show your willing to act in accordance with your values. Your not copping out your respecting yourself, “I need Space” “I need to see how I feel” You will be surprised of the strength it gives  you.
8. IMPROVING YOURSELF:  Trying to become a better person shows you want to create positive change in your life. For example a job change, spiritual retreats, therapy, a new exercise class, different friends. The list goes on.

MY EXAMPLE:

I needed a change, I needed to strengthen myself. I always knew I was good in the creative arts, music singing, piano but over the years somehow I let people make me feel otherwise. I was starving. I moved temporary to a big city that had a conservatory of music and auditioned for the womens vocal group.

OH MY!! I GOT IN  my life has been changing every since. You never know.
