Strong girls stop chasing people, whether it’s family, friends, coworkers, or anyone else in their lives. They are willing to put in the effort to meet people in the middle, but they are also wise enough to realize when no one is reciprocating that effort.

They realize that’s where the magic happens. That’s what has the biggest affect on their income: Not how much money they have in the bank, but how much they invest in themselves.

7. Happiness

But, when girls realize how damn strong they are, they learn to love their own skin. Strong girls know life isn’t just about looking great in skinny jeans. Strong girls won’t chase after beauty standards; they stop trying to obtain the “perfect body.” Strong girls recognize that deep reverence for their body is the most powerful way to connect to the creativity and power we each possess.

They stop chasing society’s false perfection and live their life to the fullest, appreciating everything that they do have.

When strong girls finally realize how strong they really are, they discover who they are and why they’re here. This clarity gives them a sense of purpose that’s much larger than the humdrum of day-to-day life. When will you stop chasing the wrong things and give the right things a chance to catch you? When is it your time to embrace the strong girl that you are?
