I define a strong mind as having a great capacity to face challenges. Being strong means having the resources, the mental skills, and the physical capabilities to confront difficulties of all kinds. When a person is strong-minded, they have the energy and stamina to face a challenge without being robbed of inner strength.
Mental toughness gives us the courage to grow from the stress we experience in life. It is a mindset comprised of several qualities and attitudes.
Five tips to building a strong mind:
Confidence
Confidence is a belief in yourself and your ability to meet your goals.Courage
Courage is the tendency to see life’s obstacles as challenges to be met rather than threats to be avoided.Commitment
As Jim Collins once said,The best form of commitment comes from a single-minded passion for what they do and an unwavering desire for excellence in the way they think and work.”
Control
Control is having a certainty that you are able to shape your destiny rather than passively accepting events as they come along.Purpose
Strong-minded people have a dedication that comes from a purpose that’s in alignment with their deepest values.
