12 Things Mentally Strong People Avoid
6/23/2016
1. Surrendering Their Power
Mentally strong people are well
aware of their prowess to manage any situation by the way they respond.
They know their strength is in knowing their weaknesses. They refuse to
give away their power to fully control their actions and emotions.
2. Resisting Change
Change
is a part of life and mentally strong people are well aware of this
fact. So, instead of resisting change, they go with the flow and take
this change as a challenge, a challenge to better them. They make their
own opportunities and know how to make the best of every passing moment.
3. Being Hasty in Results
"Haste
Makes Waste", a well-known proverb throughout the galaxy, is well
acknowledged by mentally strong people. They implement it in their
lives. They know, be it a workout plan or starting a business, nothing
succeeds over a night. They recognize the fact that expecting immediate
results is a task for lunatics. They plan out their work for the long
run and celebrate each milestone on the way.
4. Feeling Superior Then Others
Mentally
strong people realize the fact that they are not superior to anyone.
This world does not owe them anything. They were born equal and will
remain equal to others, no matter their heritage or bloodline. They know
they`ll have to strive to survive in this world. And they`re prepared
to tackle the difficulties and succeed on their merits at every turn of
life.
5. Being Worried for Uncontrollable Matters
One thing,
mentally strong people have a complete control on, is their attitude
towards problems. You won`t see such people complaining about things
that don`t matter or situations that are beyond their control, such as
bad traffic or whether. Instead they concentrate their time and energy
on projects that`ll affect their life in a positive way.
6. Being Worried of Their Image
Ever
seen people who go out of their way to please others? Or people who do
so just to irritate others? Both are self-centered people who care for
nothing except their fake image on the world and people around them.
Mentally strong people stay out of such practices. They know when to be
kind and affectionate and when to stand up for what`s right.
7. Being Afraid of Time with Themselves
Mentally
strong people enjoy good company of other people and also of
themselves. They treasure their alone time and use it to reflect on
their life choices and plan for a better and brighter future. They know
how to benefit from their alone time by putting their efforts in
something productive.
8. Being Afraid to Try Again
Some
people are too afraid to try again; they just give up after failure.
Such is not the case with mentally strong people. They know success and
failure go hand in hand. Even the most successful people started from
scratch and had to face failures before they got where they are now.
Mentally strong people know that they`ll have to try, try again to
succeed.
9. Being Jealous
Mentally weak people resent other
peoples success. They become jealous and think of ways to turn their
success into failure. While mentally strong people do the opposite.
They, not only, feel genuinely happy and contended for the succeeding,
but also take notes from their success and use them to shape their own
path to success.
10. Being Afraid of Taking Risks
A mentally
strong person knows his strengths and weaknesses. He knows risks are a
must in the path to success. He also knows the extent of risks that he
can take. He thoroughly weighs the negative effects of the risk against
its benefits while fully assessing the potential outcomes, before taking
a step.
11. Living in The Past
Mentally weak people tend to
live in their past. They mourn over the past disappointments and how
the times have changed. They want to live in the "splendor days" of the
past. Mentally strong people, on the other hand, tend to learn from
their past failures instead of indulging in them. They use this
experience learned to improve their present and forge a better path for
their future.
12. Repeating the Same Mistakes
"What is the
definition of insanity? It`s doing the same exact thing again and again
and expecting different results" ~Albert Einstein Mentally strong people
take full responsibility of their past actions. It`s not like they
don`t commit mistakes, they do. It`s about how they respond to their
mistakes, their attitude towards them. They learn from their mistakes
and incorporate this learning experience in their future decisions.
