You take responsibility when you accept that the thoughts you have, are your thoughts coming from your mind. How you feel happens in your body and is a result of your thoughts. The words you speak come from your mouth and voice. The actions you take, are taken by you. What this means is that nobody can make you think, feel, say or do anything. They do not let other people control them. Nobody can push your buttons, because you are the button maker! In the same way you don’t have control over how other people respond as they respond from their mindset.
They expect many 'rejection' before 'success'-Mentally strong and tough people know that rejections, failures and disappointments are a part of the journey to their goals. They do not let these events disrupt or discourage them. They know it is part of the process to get to where they want to be.
They Do Not Stay In Self-Pity-This is a toxic place to stay in! Self pity lies to you about who you are, and steals from where you can be! Squash self-pity! Stay away from comparing yourself to others. Don't dwell on negative events
They Do Not Let Circumstances Stop Them From Moving Forward- The motivational speaker Brian Tracy said that successful people experience bad events just as much as unsuccessful people. The difference is that successful people prepare for them, take them in stride, and expect them. Don't Let anyone or anything stop you from achieving your goals.
