Do not waste time complaining

People with high mental strength know that complaining about circumstances is simply a waste of time. Blaming school, family, work, or any other particular situation that is being lived, only results in a waste of energy and time, since people with mental toughness do not fall into this, as it depends on each person move forward without caring about the environment.

Do not give up power

Letting others offend or yell, waiting for orders, and not having self-initiative are very great faults of weak-minded people. Someone with mental strength knows that they must direct the power of his attitudes to lead and lead other people on the path of improvement; many people yield their power for a place in an organization, letting themselves be carried away by conformism when in reality they must be agents of change.

It’s not possible to make everyone happy

Whoever possesses mental strength knows that it is impossible to make everyone happy since there are too many ways of thinking to unify opinions and satisfy everyone; that is why we have to be concrete with our opinions and know what we are looking for, be faithful to convictions without losing our own north, learning to discern who, besides oneself, we are going to make happy.

Calculated risks and knowing how to wait

People with mental strength learn how to take calculated risks, considering the provisions; they have been educated and prepared to face situations. Both in life and business, one should not make business deals, nor expect results immediately because we know things take time, and, to make significant changes and get results, one must have a path of growth and build thinking in the long term.

Envy has no place

Envy does not exist for a person with mental strength, but he celebrates the success of surrounding people, and having this ability allows incorporating work partners, to grow together, identify talents. Success begins with inner and constant work, and it does not mean an achievement that only one person can reach.  Being successful as an individual is important, but to reach this as a team, without envy, a bad intention, or selfishness is to reach a higher level.
