Mental Strength or mental toughness is a compilation of traits that allow an individual to get through difficult and tough circumstances and emerge victorious with brimming confidence. It is all about controlling emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
According to Glenn Hapgood, co-founder of Developers Rescape, the headset is leaving the gaming world and is entering the medical sector.
At present, the firm is charging £4,000 for each headset every year and is entering the medical sector and also surprisingly the escape rooms industry.
These are a few things mentally strong people never do:
1. They aren’t scared of change:
Mentally strong people embrace change rather than avoiding it or being scared of it. They are always flexible and believe they have the capability to adapt to change which is inevitable.
2. They don’t sit around feeling sorry for themselves:
Mentally tough people won’t feel sorry for themselves or about their circumstances. They don’t keep on obsessing over the fact how others have treated him/her throughout life. They are well aware of the fact that life is neither fair nor easy and take full responsibility of their own life.
3. They don’t let anyone control them:
They do not allow anyone else to have power or control over them. You will never hear them say things like, “My boss has made my life a living hell.” They understand that they have the control in every situation of life and they themselves decide how to respond or which emotion to show.
4. They don’t care to please anyone:
Mentally strong people do their own thing without thinking much about pleasing others. They are not scared of speaking up or saying no to something as and when required. They try hard to be fair and kind, but it does not matter to them if someone is upset or unhappy with them.
5. They aren’t scared of taking risks:
We don’t mean doing foolish or reckless shit, but taking a calculated risk is a trait found in all mentally strong people. Before taking a big decision, mentally tough people weigh in the pros and cons of the situation and then make a decision.
6. They don’t think much about things which aren’t in their control:
You can be assured of the fact that if a person complains about traffic jams or lost luggage, he is not mentally strong. Why? Because these things are out of anyone’s control. Mentally strong people concentrate on those things in life that can be controlled. They realize that in some situations, it is only their attitude, which is in their control.
7. They don’t live in the past:
Dwelling in the past and wishing things turned out differently is something people who are not mentally strong do. Mentally tough individuals acknowledge the past and try and learn from the mistakes they made. They don’t keep thinking about the negative events from the past or dwell in the fantasy of the glory days. They live and plan for the present and the future. They will try not to make the same mistakes in the future.
8. They don’t fear being alone:
People who are mentally strong don’t fear silence and can be alone with their thoughts. They know how to utilize alone time and use it for productive purposes. They don’t need the companionship of others to entertain themselves and are perfectly happy being on their own.
9. They aren’t bitter to successful people:
Mentally strong people are secure and don’t feel threatened or jealous of the success of other people but celebrate it. They don’t think that they have been cheated by life when others surpass them. They realize that success is the direct result of hard work and understand that they need to sweat it out if they desire success.
10. They don’t think the universe owes them anything:
People who think they are entitled to receive everything in life are anything but mentally strong. Mentally tough people don’t think that the universe owes them and would be taken care of. They go out on their own and look for opportunities, according to their own abilities.
Success comes to those who work hard for it. Keeping your eye on the prize and working hard ferociously towards your goal are the only keys to success.
Of course, you will see failures too, but if you are one of the mentally strong people and concentrate on looking at the big picture, success will follow you soon enough.
