When country singer Reba McEntire split from her husband Narvel Blackstock after 26 years of marriage, it could have defeated her.

Rapper and actress Queen Latifah is one of those stars who does her thing and stays out of the mess in Hollywood. When she lost her brother in a motorcycle crash in 1992, she decided to live life to the fullest. However, she learned quickly that most people did not care about her mourning. She told Beliefnet people would offer condolences and then ask her for an autograph. "People would say to me, 'Sorry about your brother, can I have your autograph?' And I would feel like, you don't care about me, you don't care about my brother, all you care about is your stinking autograph." Be encouraged if you feel used in the world and stick with your true friends as they will be there for you, success is always fleeting.

Melania Trump

First Lady Melania Trump, the wife of U.S. President Donald Trump, is pretty much vilified for everything she does (her accent and being called a whore). Yet, she exhibits grace. Born in Slovenia, then part of Yugoslavia, she became an American citizen in 2006. On International Women's Day, the First Lady explained that she knows the value of freedom since coming from a communist country. "As an immigrant myself, having grown up in a communist society, I know all too well the value and importance of freedom and equal opportunity - ideals which this great nation was founded and has continued to strive towards throughout its history," she said. Melania speaks five languages which include Slovene, English, French, Serbian and German. The First Lady has withstood the pressures and has risen above her critics with a quiet dignity. You can do the same, with the enemies in your life.

Diane Von Furstenberg

The designer of the wrap dress and fashion icon Diane Von Furstenberg shared that women should refuse to be a victim of circumstance and people. Von Furstenberg's mother was a prisoner of war in Auschwitz and was inspired by her mother's strength. “The day I was born I was a miracle,” Von Furstenberg said according to the Daily Beast. "That little dress made me independent. That little dress allowed me to be the woman I wanted to be.” She says her success also gave her a voice. “If you have a little bit more of a voice, the most important thing you can do is give voice to those who don’t." Her inspiration continues to charm women and encourages them to be strong.
