1. Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves. When a situation turns out badly, they respond with phrases such as “Oh, well.” Or perhaps simply, “Next!”
2. Give Away Their Power. Mentally strong people avoid giving others the power to make them feel inferior or bad.
3. Shy Away from Change. Mentally strong people embrace change and they welcome challenge.
4. Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control. In a bad situation, they recognize that the one thing they can always control is their own response and attitude, and they use these attributes well.
5. Worry About Pleasing Others.
6. Fear Taking Calculated Risks. A mentally strong person is willing to take calculated risks.
7. Dwell on the Past. a mentally strong person is able to avoid miring their mental energy in past disappointments or in fantasies of the “glory days” gone by. They invest the majority of their energy in creating an optimal present and future.
8. Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over. A mentally strong person accepts full responsibility for past behavior and is willing to learn from mistakes.
9. Resent Other People’s Success. They don’t become jealous or resentful when others succeed (although they may take close notes on what the individual did well).
10. Give Up After Failure. Mentally strong people are willing to fail again and again, if necessary, as long as the learning experience from every “failure” can bring them closer to their ultimate goals.
11. Fear Alone Time. Mentally strong people enjoy and even treasure the time they spend alone. Most importantly, they don’t depend on others to shore up their happiness and moods. They can be happy with others, and they can also be happy alone.
12. Feel the World Owes Them Anything. Mentally strong people enter the world prepared to work and succeed on their merits, at every stage of the game.
13. Expect Immediate Results. Whether it’s a workout plan, a nutritional regimen, or starting a business, mentally strong people are “in it for the long haul”.
Take care of those titties for me.
