Shakespeare said that “women may fall when there’s no strength in men.” Women have certainly proven themselves to have an individualized strength that surpasses a reliance upon anyone other than themselves. Women have proven themselves to be survivors, trailblazers, inspires, and motivators.

Here are eight characteristics that make strong women stand up and out all by themselves.

A strong woman is steadfast in her confidence and faith in herself. She knows who she is at her core. She knows what she expects from herself and others. Her goals and dreams aren’t just idle thoughts. She puts things in motion and refuses to let anyone sink her ship. Support is nice to have for the strong woman, but it’s far from essential. She doesn’t seek approval from others. She’s also willing to confidently make her own decisions and stand behind them. Nothing stops her drive to succeed.

You won’t see a strong woman begging for attention, affection, or temporary fame. You’ll see her demand what she’s rightfully due - respect. If she’s unwanted, unappreciated, disrespected, or determines a relationship is otherwise toxic, then she moves on without ado. Those who don’t value her appropriately, use her, or abuse her will find that they don’t have the gift of her presence for long.

Pain and hardships aren’t an Achilles heel for a strong woman. While these are no less hard for her, they become her weapons. She deals with her problems and rebounds quickly. She seeks solutions versus wallowing and taking a victim label. Struggles are nothing more than learning moments.

A strong woman doesn’t have to tear others down to make herself look or feel better. She’s positive, makes other feel uplifted, and is there to help others in their struggles. She chooses to share the limelight of life with anyone deserving, and will even help others find that limelight for themselves. Loyalty is almost always a quality in a strong woman. If deserving, she will fight for you, not against you.

She knows that she’s not good at everything. She knows her strengths and weaknesses and abilities and limitations, and it’s this that enables a strong woman to not draw comparisons between themselves and others. They want both themselves and others to succeed and excel appropriately. Her goals an aspirations have nothing to do with what her neighbor has or does. Her goals are all her own. She competes with herself and challenges herself an others to be the best version of themselves possible.

A strong woman knows that emotions aren’t vulnerabilities. She’s not fearful of allowing herself to be sad or hurt. Emotions are sources of strength, perseverance, and knowledge. She knows that she must first admit her feelings and give herself time to heal before she can regain her footing. She’ll then pick herself up and be a wiser, stronger person with all the more reason to fight for her aspirations.

Revenge is an easy route, often simply requiring you to follow the negative energy. In the end, however, it’s a mental prison that becomes impossible to escape. A strong woman doesn’t fall into this trap. She opts for the positivity of forgiveness and moves onward wiser and stronger.

The truth can be a difficult dish to serve, but good intentions are usually paved in truths, not lies. Yes, there’s a risk of hurting others, but the versus is something strong women hold dearly. People don’t have to wonder where a strong woman’s opinion, loyalties, or objectives are, and that’s a rarity in today’s world of deception and platitudes.

If you’re a strong woman, give yourself a very deserving pat on the back. Do you know a strong woman? Maybe you know someone who needs a few more of these characteristics?
