Tough individuals are very keen on self-growth and self-improvement.

They like to challenge themselves and set goals that are realistically possible to reach.

They have their own inner drive that pushes them to improve on certain#things and therefore they always work on themselves.

It is a really refreshing quality that has a very grounding effect.

Mental strength is definitely not something that everyone acquires.

It takes years of realization and growth to actually get to the point where you feel like you can deal with every situation in the best way possible.

You can stand your ground like a boss

One of the best qualities of a badass woman is that she rarely crumbles under pressure, no matter what the world throws at her. She stands by her set of beliefs and values and no amount of pressure can alter that.

. She Will Have A Stronger Person With her Too

Her significant other will also be a strong person. An independent woman has a partner who is strong and believes in her. Together they come out as a strong couple too and together they can accomplish anything.

She is Always Upgrading Herself

A sure shot sign of an independent woman is the fact that she refuses to halt her learning process. She is continuously learning and reading and upgrading herself to suit the needs of her daily life. They care about what is happening around them and always keep themselves up-to-date.

Girls watch junk TV – women read.

Some TV is great TV – the rest is pretty much garbage. Women do have their TV shows – some being guilty pleasures – but they also like to spend their time with their nose in books and magazines with substance.

They don't enjoy filling their lives with meaningless pop-culture garbage that gets regurgitated over the decade. Women like to keep sharp. Girls like to keep occupied.

Girls stick to what they know – women are always searching to widen their horizons.

Women are experienced in life and therefore understand the importance of experiencing life. They do their best to see the world, meet people, explore possibilities. They are passionate and driven. Women take life by the horns. Girls aren't really sure what their purpose is – they're hoping to find a man to pick them up and show them the way.

There is nothing, and I mean nothing, sexier than a female who can take care of herself. All females are capable of it, but few actually take care of business. Girls like to coast along in life – always looking for handouts.
