They know who they are and what they stand for

They have also learnt to trust their judgement on issues.

Strong women know what they deserve and know not to settle for less than they deserve. They know that settling for less is a waste of time, so they have learnt to save themselves the time and headache.

They are constantly avoiding comparing themselves with others. They do not look for permission or validation from other people as they realize that they have to take responsibility for their actions. They also do not blame other people for their mistakes.

This self respect comes from knowing your worth. Most women who are strong have not always been that way, however, certain situations have forced them to attain a certain level of strength. In difficult situations, most women realize they have no where else to turn to, and so they turn to themselves. This in itself makes them develop inner strength.
