What Matters/Highlights:

Mentally strong people accept responsibility for the mistake.

It’s about controlling your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves. It creates negative emotions, and hurts your relationships. The key is to affirm the good in the world.

They don’t focus on things they can’t control. Trying to be in control of everything is likely a response to anxiety.

They don’t worry about pleasing everyone. It’s OK for others to feel angry or disappointed; and you can’t please everyone.

They don’t dwell on the past. The past is in the past. There’s no way to change what happened, and “dwelling can be self-destructive, preventing you from enjoying the present.

They don’t give up after the first failure. Success isn’t immediate, and failure is almost always an obstacle you will have to overcome.

Comparing yourself to others will only set you up for disappointment.

It’s important to “keep your eyes on the prize” and relentlessly work toward your long-term goals.
