My inner strength that then allows my other strengths like kindness and compassion to flourish.

How would you characterize that inner strength for someone that can't see inside of you?
SW-User
@HalfCactus: I have a lot of reason not to be kind or compassionate, and yet, I can rise above everything that should make me bitter and find myself able to contain and turn this into understanding and acceptance, while continuing to be kind and compassionate externally.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: I believe that can be called being centered. Would you agree?
SW-User
@HalfCactus: Yes. But that centered'ness comes out of an inner strength. That I believe is the core of my strength that holds together other strengths and doesn't let the weaknesses take over.
SW-User
@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: So perhaps your inner strength is willpower? Refusing to indulge your weaknesses takes a bit of will to pull off
SW-User
@HalfCactus: I could live with calling it that. :)
