I think if I had to boil strength down in to one short simple definition I would float it out as follows:
Strength is the ability to do and the capacity to be.
Strength is your ability to do, to take action, create movement, change, stability, etc. It's your ability to enact into manifestation. That's one half.
The other half is of course the being. Strength is also your capacity to be, it's your ability to hold, witness and settle as the now arrising.
Without the being, doing is ultimately weak. Now sure you may have tremendous power and influence in a company, in your family, in a weight room, within a friendship but if your motion, activity and influence isn't informed by the depth of being then you're standing on shaky ground.
Similarly without doing being is weak. Yes you may be rooted in being's ever present seat; however, if you've dissociated and ejected yourself from manifestation and unable to engage deeply and passionately with this relative evolving dimension - that's weak. A different form of weakness but nonetheless weakness playing itself out.
If you'd like a long, but entertaining blog on strength check my blog on Strength and the Spiritual Pursuit here.
As for other's imput I haven't recieved much, but this is where I'm at with regards to defining and enacting strength in my life and practice. How about you?
