This is a little different than
the other postings, but I had to share this with you guys. I saw this list over a year ago and wrote it
down where I could see it on a daily basis.
It certainly is a work in progress and a struggle daily, but I know it
has helped me so much. It’s a really simple
concept that may appear difficult to master, but the journey of trying to
apply these motto’s daily will only make you stronger both, mentally and
physically. I can’t remember the exact
title of the list, but I believe it had something to do with things Mentally
Strong People Don’t do:
1. Don’t feel sorry for yourself.
a. Take
responsibility of your role and understand life isn’t always fair
2. Don’t give away your power.
a. You
are in control of your emotions and actions, no one else
3. Don’t shy away from change.
a. Change
is inevitable at some point, so adapt and thrive
4. Don’t waste energy on things you cannot control.
a. Recognize
that sometimes the only thing you can control is your attitude
5. Don’t worry about pleasing everyone.
a. Strive
to be kind and fair, but know that not everyone will always be happy
6. Don’t fear calculated risk.
a. Not
reckless or foolish, but calculated and understand the pros and potential cons
7. Don’t dwell on the past.
a. Live
for the present and plan for the future
8. Don’t make the same mistake twice.
a. Learn
from your past, move on and make better decisions from now on
9. Don’t resent another’s success.
a. Success
comes with hard work, so work hard and your chance will present itself
10. Don’t give up after the first failure.
a. Keep
trying till you get it right
11. Don’t fear alone time.
a. Don’t
fear silence, embrace it and be productive with your alone time
12. Don’t feel the world owes you anything.
a. We’re
not entitled to things in this life but the opportunities that we make
13. Don’t expect immediate results.
a. Understand
that real change takes time, apply your skills to the best of your ability
I hope you find this insightful and are able to start applying some of these
principles to your daily lives. Focus on
the things that you can control in your life, your attitude, your work ethic,
your passion, your drive, your skills and let someone else worry about all the
things you can’t control, because at the end of the day, you’re going to be to
busy kicking ass at this life no matter what you’re doing to have the time to
waste.
