#5: The mentally strong

To change things up on my blog, I decided to focus on an article that was written to explain aspects about people that possess mental strength instead of mental illnesses. This article was very interesting because it indicated exactly what mentally strong people have the capability to do and it can guide anyone to ultimately reach a healthy level of mental strength. The 9 habits that the author writes about mainly focus on the fact that these individuals are able to get through challenges and the hardships they are faced with and they see the positives in a world filled with negativities. The two points that seem to have the most importance to the author are the fact that mentally strong people don't aspire to be happy all the time and they're persistent in the pursuit of their goals. The mentally strong understand that life comes with ups and downs and they do not feel entitled to never have to deal with hardships. These people always enjoy living in the present and are able to control their emotions in various situations by being realists.

This article was mostly against social norm. I was shocked at how accurate these qualities really are so I decided to examine and pay close attention to individuals I previously thought to be mentally strong. I came to the conclusion that only half of them truly had a high level of mental strength because not all of them loved and appreciated their lives and some strived incessantly to be positive and to be happy. I have taken all of the 9 points into consideration and I have decided to take the path to become a mentally strong individual in order to influence other people's lives in a positive way and to create a happy environment to succeed in life. Being mentally strong should definitely be an important element in each person's life.
