Incredible India Monthly Community Contest for January #1: Strength!

Strength is way deeper than physical power, it is the ability to stand firm when challenge comes, a display of patience when everything seems paused and all these are things of the mind which is beyond physical body.

After getting to understand the deeper meaning of strength, I will use the contest tips as guidelines while sharing my perspective;

Question 1: What is your perspective on the concept of strength? Please describe.

Like I said earlier, strength is often mistaken as mere physical control but in reality, it spreads out far beyond power or physical endurance. Real strength lies in adaptability, self-discipline, clear mindedness and the ability to act with integrity even in difficult times. It is the quiet energy that helps individuals stand unwavering in their values, over-come hardship and remain balanced during ordeals . Strength can be discovered in gentleness, in compassion and in the boldness to speak the truth at all times or stand for what is right even when it is shunned.

Question 2: How can individuals leverage their strengths to foster personal development or contribute to societal improvement? Please elaborate on this concept.

When individuals recognize and accept their uncommon strength; whether rational, passionate or ethical, they tend to or can cultivate valuable personal development.

For example; an individual with good conversation skills can be a peacemaker or the head, someone with logical abilities can solve problems and redesign. By integrating strength with the purpose, individuals become more certain bad fruitful, leading to self-improvement.

Moreover, when people use their strength to serve others through participating, supporting or community building they all contributes to better the society. Strength should not be collected but shared among the society to uplift those around us .

Question 3: Do you believe that strength is inherently linked to the responsibility of upholding righteousness? Please justify your perspective.

Yes, strength is inherently tied to the responsibility of upholding righteousness. With strength comes leverage, and with influence comes the responsibility to act justly. True strength must be led by experience and empathy; a strong person who chooses to remain quiet in the countenance of wrong doing is not using their strength properly.

Those who are talented with any form of strength be it headship, affluence or skill are called to use it to the defend the vulnerable, correct wrong doing and promote truth. In other words, strength without righteousness is risky but strength guided with moral responsibility becomes a might for good.

I will invite @josepha, @ninapenda and @elider11 to join the community contest.
