A Strong Independent Women

For me, being a strong independent women is not being single or married, not about having lots of money or status in your career - it is a state of mind.

An interesting definition of an independent women I saw in the urban dictionary was that "A woman who pays her own bills, buys her own things, and doesn't feel she needs a man's approval." This is true but that's not the only thing it means.


Being a strong independent women can be confusing at times. The definition of a strong woman  supposedly is you should never show your weakness, while being an independent woman means you should be self reliable and usually you don't need anyone else to help you. But the reality is no one can be strong for 24/7 and no one can live totally independent of other people.

A strong woman means she protects her joy, happiness and peace and takes care of her relationship with family and friends. She stands up for what is right even if she has to stand all by herself. A strong women doesn't pretend to be strong, she actually lives a life stronger. She's capable of doing a lot, but not foolish enough to do more than she's able.

Strong doesn't mean a woman never cries or she had bad days. Strong doesn't mean she has to say yes everyone just because they ask. On the contrary the type of woman who uses the word "No" by keeping her priorities straight. She says "No, I cant take the extra responsibility. No, I will not allow you to speak to me that way. No, You should not invade my privacy or disrupt my peace. NO"

When coming to independent, I think that too often, people confuse independence with never asking for help. We are'nt born knowing everything. If you dont know something means ask. Ask for help, like "If you know how to do something and I dont means please teach me... How else I will learn? The next time i wont have to ask."

To be independent means to be free. All day we have an endless stream of thoughts are coming through us. But with an independent mind, the ideas, decisions, creation, choices and actions you make are always your own. Regardless of what anyone has to say, someone who is independent thinks for themselves. they have their own style and own way of doing things. They always ensure that they are free from outside influence and control. In fact they take the friend's suggestion or someone's suggestions but they filter it through their own thoughts and experiences.

To be independent means to love yourself. Maybe you step out of the house in sweats or maybe you prefer skinny jeans, but either way you feel confident wearing them. To be independent means to be your own person.An independent women see a world in different lens. An independent woman supports and respects everyone. They wont view others as their competition. They wont judge others by what they are wearing and what career they are pursuing.

An independent women knows that it's all about actions and who a person really is, not about what some other says about them. This way of living gives a person more time to think, to question and to understand. Being self- reliant makes a person to believe them-self, to trust them-self and to love them-self when they are right, wrong, happy, sad, good, bad and everything in between.

Your independence doesn't depend on your relationship status. It depends on your strength, on your energy. On how much you accomplish in a day.

And finally Ill repeat my older words.... independence is a state of mind. It is a pride and empowerment that no one take away from me....
