I've always linked it to determination and steadfastness. Though it could be stubborness in my case too!

I have no choice today but to be strong and battle the rain to walk the dogs.

Yes it is Pat. I have had to be strong all my life. Right now I'm not feeling so strong. So I suppose if I'm not feeling strong, I must be weak.

You’re right. Perhaps it means people who cope without making a fuss. There was a time when I was fed up of having to be strong. But it’s life isn’t it.

I keep hearing this expression. How do you interpret this? Why strong? What choice do we have in difficult times other than to be 'strong'?
