I found this neat illustration awhile back that points out the 18 things mentally strong people do. You may or may not agree with all the points, but check it out and let me know your thoughts.
The 18 things mentally tough people do:
- They move on
- They keep control
- They embrace change
- They stay happy
- They are kind
- They are willing to take calculated risks
- They invest their energy in the present
- They accept full responsibility for their past behavior
- They celebrate other people's success
- They are willing to fail
- They enjoy their time alone
- They are prepared to work and succeed on their own merits
- They have staying power
- They evaluate their core beliefs
- They expend their energy wisely
- They think productively
- They tolerate discomfort
- They reflect on their progress
