A Woman of Strength, Reconsidered
by Katie Short
A strong woman stays active and eats right to keep her mind and body well,
but a woman of strength also spends time at rest to do the same.
A strong woman isn’t afraid of many things,
but a woman of strength listens to her intuition so that she may understand and respond to her fear appropriately.
A strong woman wants to be stronger than everyone else,
but a woman of strength knows her limits and uses them well.
A strong woman makes errors, and tries to avoid repeating them.
A woman of strength recognizes her errors, and works to correct them with grace, even when it is difficult.
A strong woman walks with sure footing, charging ahead,
but a woman of strength takes the time to ensure her footing is stable, so that she may best support herself and others.
A strong woman maintains the appearance of confidence,
but a woman of strength boldly confronts her self-doubt, and radiates true confidence in her features.
A strong woman believes she has enough strength to finish her journey.
A woman of strength knows that life is the journey, and that her preparation, wisdom, and intuition will show her when to work, to rest, and to move forward along the way.
