13 Things Mentally Strong People Avoid

Are you mentally strong?

1.  Waste time feeling sorry for themselves - not worth investing time on this and learned this a long time ago

2.  Give away their power - Lead, be a leader and empower your Team to take ownership, yet, never give away your power

3.  Shy away from change - Change is the only constant we have as Leaders and the more we embrace change the more successful we lead

4.  Waste energy on things they can't control - Guilty and working on this one

5.   Worry about pleasing others - Until several years ago, always felt it was about pleasing others 100% of the time

6.  Fear taking calculate risks - The only fear is the fear of failure and learn from any failures that occur

7.  Dwell on the past - Guilty on this one too and will add to the list of things to improve on

8.  Make the same mistakes over and over - Rarely happens, take ownership, learn and move forward

9.  Resent other people's success - Always glad to see and help others become successful and to help them to keep growing

10.  Give up after failure - Never give up and failures motivate leaders to continue to succeed

11.  Fear alone time - Actually the opposite is true and really enjoy when there is some alone time with no interruptions

12.  Feel the world owes them something - Always strive to give back to the world and understand it is not always fair

13.  Expect immediate results - Except for the "move the whole mountain right now" never had to worry about this one!
