Here are the 20 things mentally strong people don’t do:
1. Dwelling On The Past
Mentally strong individuals focus on the present moment and on the near future.
They understand that the past is out of our control and the far future is about as predictable as the weather this winter.

2. Remaining In Their Comfort Zone
The comfort zone is a dangerous place, a dark abyss where anyone who remains there for too long loses his or herself entirely.

5. Keeping A Closed Mind
You don’t know everything. Even the things you believe yourself to know are likely to not be entirely true.
If you keep a closed mind, you are preventing yourself from learning new material. If you stop learning, you stop living.

6. Letting Others Make Decisions For Them
Only u should be making your own decisions; u can’t allow others to make them for u.
All this does is shift the responsibility from u to someone else.
If u don’t have the courage to fail, then you don’t have the courage to succeed.

7. Getting Jealous Over The Successes Of Others
When others succeed, you should be happy. If they can do it, so can you.

8. Thinking About The High Possibility Of Failure
Our thoughts control our perspective; our perspective controls our results.

9. Feeling Sorry For Themselves
Sh*t happens. Life isn’t all roses and butterflies. You will fall off that horse again and again and again.
The question is, are you strong enough to keep getting back on it?

15. Feeling Like You’re Owed
You aren’t owed anything in life.
You were born; the rest is up to you.

16. Repeating Mistakes
Make a mistake once, okay. Make a mistake twice… not so okay.

You’re either stupid or permanently high.

17. Giving Into Their Fears
The world can be a scary place.
But Most of our fears are illogical.
If you know that you want to try something, try it.
If you’re scared, then understand that being scared of failing must mean that succeeding means a whole lot to you.

18. Acting Without Calculating
The mentally strong know better than to act before completely understanding the situation at hand.
If you have time to ponder over something and cover all your bases, then do so.
Not doing so is pure laziness.

19. Refusing Help From Others
You’re not Superman.
You can’t do it all.
Even if you can, why should you? If others are offering to help, let them help.
Be social.
Listen to their ideas and watch how they do things.
You may learn something.

20. Throwing In The Towel
The biggest weakness in all of humanity is giving up.
The mentally strong go about things in such a way.
If they’re important to you, then pursue them until you succeed.
No exceptions, ever.
