When you're strong

When I was a little girl I was fascinated by the main heroine Morgan Adams in the movie Cutthroat Island .  I wanted to have such strong spirit and personality. I really admired the way she achieved her goals.

Now, after years of working on myself, I feel that I really became strong, but at that point I felt another side of being strong.
I've got three big events in last 7 years that changed my personal philosophy completely. After them I finally became myself, whom I wanted to be, strong and independent woman. But not always you become satisfied, because sometimes you stay motionless in situations in which you, normally, should react, depending on situation, in some way.


What do you think? Is it good or bad to be mentally strong?
