How to Have a Strong Personality

When the words ‘strong personality’ are mentioned, many thoughts come to mind. People have different opinions on this; some negative and others positive. The negative connotations of the words are that it refers to someone who is overbearing, demanding, arrogant and bossy. While the positive aspects far outweigh the negatives and include the following: a person who is confident in themselves, capable of leadership, shapes their own personalities and is not easily influenced by others, assertive, believes in and stands up for his rights, and has good self-control. The above are just some of the traits associated with a strong personality.

There are some people who believe that developing themselves physically will help them to have a strong personality. However, even though the word ‘strong’ seems to be used interchangeably, we should realize that a strong personality has more to do with the state of mind. Being physically strong does not necessarily mean that a person has a strong personality.

Expounding on the matter further, we find that many people believe that there is a distinct relationship between a strong personality and faith. They believe that a strong personality is very much related to the spirituality of a person, being religiously inclined and having a close relationship with their Creator.
