Understanding Strength and Brokenness:

- Strength can be innate or developed through life experiences and conscious effort.

- Fairness: Being just and admitting when wrong.
- Honesty: Speaking the truth with tact and conscience above fear.

- Positive problem-solving: Focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
- Emotional intelligence: Understanding when to speak, listen, or remain silent.
Dealing with Family Influence and Emotional Breakdowns:
- Family has a profound impact on personality and emotional well-being; unintentional or intentional behaviors can cause emotional harm.
- Excessive criticism, comparisons, control, mockery, and favoritism damage self-confidence and create jealousy.

Gender Differences in Coping with Brokenness:

- Men often suppress emotions, isolate themselves, or engage in distracting behaviors, which can worsen their condition.
- Both genders need to acknowledge pain and seek help without shame.
Attachment and Letting Go:
