TAKE A LOOK AT THESE FALSE IDEAS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE STRONG MENTALLY.

     We expend a lot of our resources trying to gain physical strength but spend way less time developing our mental strength. 

        Thus, there are a lot of myths and false ideas or beliefs about what "mentally strong" actually means. 

 

      Below are four biggest misconceptions about mentally strong people:

1.            They are cold blooded  

       Mentally strong people also experience emotions, however they know how their emotions can influence their thoughts and behavior. They are able to think objectively, especially...when doing so helps them attain their goals, and they don’t allow their emotions to control them.

2.                They have never really suffered

    Many mentally strong people have been through serious challenges, from troubled childhoods to financial ruin. However, they don't use their bad luck as an excuse for not attaining their goals. 

 3.                They are born this way 

   It’s not true that mentally strong people were born strong. Rather, it is something that has to be built and exercised as we go along. Everyone has the capacity to train  the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral skills that build mental muscle.

4.                They are nasty

  Mentally strong people don't care about pleasing people, however, they are not nasty either. Rather, they take responsibility for their behavior and don't try to manipulate others with horrible strategies.
