What makes a person strong?

Effort. Mental muscles grow with tension — just like the physical ones do. Mentally strong people put time and energy into learning, growing, and challenging themselves. And they’ve experimented with enough coping skills and lifestyle changes to determine what works best for them.

What things make us strong?

Do hard things–and keep doing them even when you think you can’t. You’ll prove to yourself that you’re stronger than you think. Establish healthy daily habits as well. Practice gratitude, exercise, get plenty of sleep, and eat a healthy diet so your brain and your body can be at their best.
