"Be Strong" Easy to say, hard to do."
Of course there were plenty of comments that were going all over the place and naturally everyone responds based on their current positions and perspectives. But what I find interesting is how most of us want deep relationships, but don't look deeper into what things are and mean in our relationships.
So here's my reply:
I agree that this is a common saying, but before we can be strong we have to do what comes first: grow strength. Being strong means being able to handle things like relationship's pressure. But before we can do strong, we have to grow strength, which is done mentally. Learning and understanding who we are in our relationships grows ourselves and produces strength. Once we grow it and use it we can then described ourselves as being strong.
So here's my take:
Now I understand that many may not completely understand what I mean here and that's okay. But the truth of the matter is we all need to take the time to learn what we should be understanding about quotes like this. Every quote won't be about you and your position in your relationship(s), but all helpful information is useful - if you use it properly.
Some of us do what I call "Read and Preach" with these quotes and never take the time to learn and realize what they are really saying. They read them, stand on a soap box and preach them to anyone that will listen - but can't explain them or define most of the words they are repeating.
Like all other things in this life that we aspire to be good at - we study it! We all have to learn that being better in relationships starts with learning about relationships (not from just our experiences) but from all there is available to be learned.
