“A woman is like a teabag; you cannot tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.” -Nancy Reagan
How do you define the strength and character of a woman?
I thought you girls would like this poem I stumbled across yesterday through Cultivate Her, a leadership environment where women are inspired, challenged and encouraged.
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside
to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn’t afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won’t let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman makes mistakes
and avoids the same in the future
but a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes
can also be blessings and capitalizes on them
A strong woman walks
sure footedly
but a woman of strength knows
when to ask for help
A strong woman wears the look
of confidence on her face
but a woman of strength
wears grace
A strong woman has faith
that she is strong enough for the journey
but a woman of strength has faith
that it is in the journey that she will become strong
