Hello

I want to have a kanji tattoo and I've picked 精神力.

What do you think about it? Especially how its sounds and looks for a native Japanese person. I want some pompous epic saying, quote or phrase.

Seishinryoku seems right as long as we translate it into 'strength of power'
'strength of will', 'power of will'.

In european languages when we say 'strength, power' we mean 'strong power' and sometimes we add the adjective strong. How it is is in Japanese?
The word seishinryoku is neutral or points to strong seishinryoku?

This is how I see it: In our life we have to overcome dozens of troubles and problems so we need (strong) seishinryoku to cope with them, and we need seishinryoku to achive our goals like interests and hobbies so with a lot of effort we can master them( like playing piano or basketball). When we have seishinryoku we put a lot of effort in what we do and we work hard to obtain what we wanted and for what we try so hard. If we dont have seishinryoku we r lazy unreliable and so on.

Pls share your opinions.
