Dia Dhuit, A Shannan,
Could you provide some context? In Irish the context can drastically alter the word. I mean, DRASTICALLY alter the word.
Let us know how you intend to use it and we'll get you on track.
Le meas,

Neart - strength
But James is correct about requiring context.
Neart is fairly general, but might not always be appropriate |

strong = láidir, neartmhar, tréan
strength = láidreacht, neart, (treise, I think)
The one I use most is láidir/láidreacht. It means both psychological and physical strength. I think it's most used when referring to a person.

He had the strength to do anything
Bhí aige an láidreacht chun aon rud a dhéanamh.

Cherise, a chara, perhaps what you are looking for is "mo bhealach", meaning "my way" ?????
