This is a great list. I feel it’s accurate. I would add that they also take care of themselves to the best of their ability. They believe outside of themselves. Because otherwise they are focused on situations and circumstances? They are positive and believe things will turn around.

@@mikedaskalakis5006 I think highest form of mental strength is virtue under siege. There is something very moral about mental strength. You can call it good.
vyjayanthi subramaniyan Not really. Being mentally strong differs from being a good person. For instance, people have tried using me, but in the end I used them to teach them not to fuck with me. That was purposely. If you concentrate on yourself and do whatever is necessary for yourself to life a good life without being able to get used is the highest form of mental strength. You have then created a protective layor that just keeps you safe. That way you are free to concentrate on you. The best thing about that is that you see people think they are so smart and try undermining you but it doesn’t affect you at all even without you trying to defend yourself. You use them but not in a bad way. You use those people to stay ahead of everybody else. I’m not trying to explain this & that’s why it makes little sense. People who know what I’m talking about are at my level.
Esmeralda Rodriguez .. Absolutely 100% .. a strong person will hang in there for a certain amount of time BEFORE realising that it's not salvageable or viable anymore and walk!! If the other person is neither capable or willing to look at themselves and not take responsibility for their life then there's no other option!!! Love, friendships and relationships are a TWO WAY FLOW and if it's only ONE SIDED then it's TIME TO GO!
wrong. Mentally strong people, don't get dumped so they don't get hurt and no need to be healed. But you are describing yourself you are mentally stable.
Mentally strong people don't blame others for their actions. They don't say, "look what you made me do". Rather, they take responsibility for their own actions.
Yes, that's more or less what I was about to say: Mentally strong people do not present themselves as victims of others. In Spanish there is the great expression "victimismo", something that should be avoided since it does not solve any problem.
I had most of the qualities you mentioned. I just graduated from college with a Bachelors of Art at age 70. Not bragging, but many people seem impressed that I could do it. I had breaks from school for a heart attack and two hip replacements, but finished during the pandemic. Something difficult like this, one just has to stay focused and determined that you can do it!! I wasn't the smartest in my classes, but probably one of the most determined. I had a lot of math classes and was always in math tutoring if I wasn't in class! I also put my social life pretty much on hold, but now have met a great man who admires my determination! With the right attitude I believe people really can make their dreams come true!! My faith in God also helped me immensely! Thanks for listening! Sally
I don’t care if your mentally strong or weak, as long as you treat me nicely I’ll be nice to you too. In this world full of fierce and smart looking people, kindness is what matters the most to me. Kindness is rare in this cruel world.
I agree with that treat as you are treated motto. Also, I actually believe that mentally strong people do not have to be either fierce or smart looking. Therefore, those who are not nice when they have the choice to be so are not mentally strong at all.
I agree with this. When bad thoughts come up I push them away, I turn my head around. It's good sometimes to put some blinders on not to get drawn into the noise in life.
Mentally strong people can create his/her own happiness no matter how sad the situation is, no matter how bad the environment is. Dogs and books are his/her bestfriend.
Rather realistic but it isnt that bad if something negative happens because you predicted it to happen similarly. If you set high exspectations, you can even be more sad if it doesnt fit your overly good prediction.
@@Leo-rh6rq Yes. Its nice to set your mind for the posibility happens of negatives to avoid high expectations unreached. But, as a positive person you do not dwell on that if may happen just take it as a reason for you to be strong enough. That's what I mean on the context you've read. 😃 Thank you for sharing your idea.
I can't agree with that. I know multiple people with most of those qualities who are not, in any way, optimistic individuals. I would argue that while it seems likely that many mentally strong people are, indeed, optimistic, the two are not equivalent at all. They simply go well together.
Mentally strong person is someone who despite having severe suicidal feelings and PTSD for 8 years don't give in to killing themselves. They fight it and believe they have more things to do in life before they die. Forced to behave like an adult and take care of my older sister and childhood physical and emotional abuse made me a stronger person I am today through learning about life on my own n making mistakes in early adulthood. I've been raped, had cancer, severe PTSD through childhood abuse, long term unemployment and workplace bullying, long term friends abandoning me and being a carer for both of my elderly parents. (I won the case no lawyers involved, stood up to HR n Seniir Management winning £15000). You have to earn to be mentally strong.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. But I'm glad you're not giving in to your negative thoughts and feelings and pushing yourself so u can live a better life.😊😊🙏🙏
StarlightnDust... I am so sorry to hear of such hardship in your life, HOWEVER, I'm very proud of you for summonsing every ounce of strength and courage to pick yourself up and to fight for what's right regardless of the adversity you've been through. You are indeed an inspiration and a very strong woman!! I send a loving hug and warmest wishes for a bright future ahead xxx
No that is not mentally strong. That is the opposite. If you really want to know in your situation what makes it mentally strong, just say, "Tell me" then I will tell you. Otherwise, I see that "YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A VICTIM BUT Disguise AS MENTALLY STRONG".
A friend of mine said "Eric, you're always so calm and collected and you don't lash out" I responded "That's because I channel my struggles into my music and my art. Everybody goes through trauma and there's no need to take your anger out on the world" Mentally strong people know how to find a positive alternative and use that when encountered in negative situations.
Such people have strong principles which they believe in, and always stand by them. Self-respect matters to them as much as their genuine respect for others.
Mentally strong people also have one more trait. They don't get provoked easily. I have found them pretty judgemental. In a good way... this is something u don't get easily...
I'm a capricorn myself and im very strong willed and will only do what i want to do i don't follow the crowd and im won't be made a fool either by anyone because god help them if they try im strong and independent and won't take any crap either from anyone who is trying to pull the wool over my eyes
I like being alone most of the time coz it's my way of recharging myself from draining people and situation. I don't want being used and I can definitely sense users.
They also are open to different perspectives, views & opinions and often try to understand someone and their situation before passing judgment on them.
OMG! I was trying not smile throughout the whole video! It was so shocking to me cause you described me!!! I’m smiling right now in disbelief! I was told by my therapist (I have PTSD- childhood traumas) that the reason I’m so level headed after all I’ve been through is because I’m strong. Well, I didn’t know exactly what she meant by that and now I do... and I’m grateful you made this video😇 thank you 😊 M
Another trait would be, even when things really don't go your way whether financial or health wise, you don't get wrapped up feeling sorry for yourself. You move on and keep trying to be the best you can be.
"Patience is the companion of wisdom"...I loved that! Wisdom... another trait that slips through the cracks of an emotionally driven world. Be in charge of your emotions; take time to reflect on yourself and how you can become a better person in your community. To make, not only 'good' decisions, but 'wise' decisions that are based on wisdom, is paramount for a healthy, mental and emotional life. Truly enjoyed this video!

I learned over the years that today I am here in this day and I do matter. Those who have done wrong to me in the past dont matter and I wont and cant dwell on the past cause Im here now and whatever was then isnt now and today I will be happy and live my moment because I made it through to today so I have a victory.
As a former business owner, now retired. Mental strength was a necessity in my line of business. Making calm cool rational choices to problems will always occur and how we handle those tough choices sets the precedence, whether a business fails or succeeds.
Basically, I need help on these: 1. I know when someone is trying to use me but I turn a blind on it even if I ended up hurting. 2. I don't know how to say no!!!! I get uneasy whenever I see the reaction of the person asking me when I turn them down so I just can't, I really find it hard to say no, this is something I want to learn and to change about myself. 3. Rather than giving constructive criticism, I always choose to say something that won't offend anybody. Even if it's something constructive yet offensive, I just shut my mouth and not say anything.
Some of these qualities resonate with me; Especially, the most important one: "Learning to say, "No."" There's some things in life worth considering and you need to place your foot down.
I learned to overcome my bipolar disorder by handling pain in a long relationship with a narcissistic disordered person. All what is shown in the video was helpful treats to build up to strength out of me. Thanks for showing us guys what is helpful to our life
Mental strength is a choice and an attitude. * It is also a trait that is developed in life as time goes by, if you are willing to develop it. That's my opinion not sure what others might think.
Mentally strong people are open-minded and understands the environment around them. Mentally strong people always finds A way to find adversity no matter what happens. I can resonate well with the last comment on the video so much.
Rolan. Sorry but do you mean ‘fight’ adversity and not ‘find’ it? I don’t think mentally strong people go looking for adversity! Other than that agree with you.
Studying health behavior, psychology and neuroscience has helped me learn so much about myself. And overtime I have improved. It takes work. As a cognitive neuroscientist, these signs are right on the spot. During college, I had less of these, but after graduate school and my doctorate, I can say, now I feel confident to say that I am similar to all of these. Overall saying "no" was most difficult, but soon I realized how much stronger and happier I was, while approaching it perfectly, others wee more integrity in you. Thank you for posting this.
Almost all of them exist in my case,but the one trait which always made me think i am not so normal is that i love alone times,i can't fit into cliche groups.i was so worried about my poor social interaction skills but now i have a good feeling about it,i am very selective in social interactions it has benefits 😊
That's why you are mentally strong. That is a big part of it. Figuring out that you are fine just the way you are; without disrespecting anyone, being rude, being mean and without any guile in your heart toward anyone. Being true to you.
Absolutely correct ! Thank you. I like me for being me. Took life experience to teach me the wisdom and I am happy, joyful and free to speak truth and care for other's.
I agree with your list 100% Because thats what i'm doin. But when i was a young man,i wasn't like that. But i learned while i was suffering and i was reflecting about everything. One of the most important lessons that i learned was to stop wishful thinking,and looking straight into the eyes of reality,without giving up.Sometimes this isn't easy,cause you have to reflect about your own mistakes,but in a long run,it brings you inner peace,cause you don"t waste your time anymore waiting on a moment that just don't come.
Sorry, but this isn't possible. If you cannot control your emotions you are not mentally strong. If you're not controlling your emotions, who or what is controlling you? 👀 Emotionally unstable is emotionally out if control. Just sayin'.
I'm very rational and a thinker. My emotions such as crying or anger don't come out easily. But I will act emotionally in romantic situations and stay in situations that aren't the best fit for too long. Balancing the heart and brain is necessary and they aren't the same.
I’m super mentally strong. Not only I fit into all these categories, but I am also strong enough to stay away from negative and toxic people. Be strong enough to be surrounded by who you truly like rather than being stuck and fixated on unhealthy friendships and relationships.
Another great video and thank you for making it. The one trait I have found most helpful over the last 30 years is to acknowledge promptly when I am wrong and apologize
That is actually a sign of mental strength. Being able to acknowledge a thing allows you to change it. It's simply a phase of the Mental Strength cultivation process. Congratulations! You are already on your way!
being honest with self is a step in the right direction. they're a lot of things i know i should work on but i'm too lazy. but i'm honest with self enough to say so
This video has described my life's mental Improvements throughout my entire life. It's great to continuously get confirmation that your doing it right. Other confirmation comes from the teachings of Jesus. Amen
About me 100%. One thing I want to add Not everyone appreciate when you give feedback, some of people get upset and characterise me as a rude person. Despite i cant overstep my believes. Most customers like it ,that why I have very stable business .
Hah! I love the opening where you said "we all go through crap in life!" Right on! And thanks so much for your incredible insights! Your channel absolutely rocks!😎💜🌍🌠
The one about controlling about your emotions hit me the most. When even I go through something, I allow my emotions to get the best of me. And the people pleasers one. I would try to stop speaking my own opinions on things just because I would be afraid if I would hurt people Dankie for the video 🙌
I would add..you have STANDARDS in choosing a romantic partner. I see many people picking anything with a pulse for fear of being judged they are single. So they put up with being treated like dirt because they care what society thinks about them being single for too long.
amen. men are often guilty of chasing after a pretty face often finding that the relationship is devoid of substance and quality. I've been guilty of this. not again.
this was really great! it gives you a better perspective on yourself, where you could have done better, and where you can improve. really, really good stuff. thank you!

@@SanaKhan-ol7se as a mentally strong person relationship may break you but mentally strong people will know how to solve the problem within the relationship and do not became fully mentally unstable
Centsible Living With Money Mom --- you bet!... funny thing I have a graduate degree in counseling psychology. I'll tell you what it's saved my life. I come from one of the most toxic family backgrounds ever six brothers and sisters same parents. I lived through it and yes I forgive them and hopefully they forgive me too but unfortunately most of them have not gotten past all the ridiculous baggage. Healing and reaching out little by little.
Thanks be to God, he gave me exactly all these 12 traits... I mean I'm really a Mentally Strong Person... Honestly, It is just a wasting time to think more about problems rather than thinking out the solutions while keeping your faith and spirit high despite of the trouble we were facing... Trusting God was the biggest weapon to fight back against our struggles...
Mentally strong people know exactly when enough is enough and they will be able to recognize and leave toxic people out.. and most important they will follow their dreams even if that means to step away from those who say that's not possibile..
Especially nowadays be very careful in choosing friends, news and books to read.where everything is fake and all lies. Only you alone, are true to yourself. And TRUST is so hard to give. Being Alone is better than being with fake people.
Mentally strong people are comfortable in their own skin. They are not subject to accept toxic people for the sake of being with someone. They have interest that achieve success for themselves. They are not afraid to be alone and interact when they want to , not when someone pushes them to do so. They are also private and don't hang onto Facebook wondering about other peoples lives. It's great.
Just like the other videos, this is another great one. I relate to from 3 to 12 and working on 1 & 2. Thanks for posting this and strong minds to all fans over here.
I think the more you do it, the easier it becomes and the better you feel because you're being real. Saying yes when you really want to say no is you being untrue to yourself and the other person.
Mentally strong people are decision makers. They don't get hang up on things but keeping moving forward learning from mistakes as they journey through life.
I enjoyed watching this video. I also relate to all of it. I've been on my own since I was 14 and I learned to be responsible, respectful, to keep my word, follow through no matter how long it takes and how to hold myself accountable. I also like how you showed diverse images in your video; multiple gender's, race's and complexions. Good stuff.
I accept myself by whom I am and love myself.There many traits in me which many people do not like but I don't care because i like the way I am.I admit when I am wrong and say sorry.I am bold enough to say no to other people and I am straight forward.I think everyone one have their own perspective and I surely do respect it.I also enjoy solitude and tries to improve my personality.
Everything is on point. I love, when I am figured out by some random stranger for who I truly am and not what they heard by others. Live & Let Live ...
Mentally strong people are not afraid to speak truth. They also do take decision to change themselves and are not very much afraid , when they change a career . While all others say that you are a hopeless fellow and can not achieve a thing which you have started , and still you continue only because you believe in yourself , shows that you are mentally strong. And you finally achieve it after so many failures also shows you are mentally strong.
Powerful tool for achieving Happiness: You seldom encounter Problems where you find yourself Tangled up in things you might Have said: because you are Constantly aware of what you Are saying..
In a manipulated world, holding your own and taking responsibility for yourself seems to be a rare breed, strong people in my mind need to be there for there loved ones, be a rock and to be a great role model for their children, strong people are generally in control but still have moments of weakness which is ok and we know it😉
Good...That qualifies me as a mentally strong person but the only problem I have is controlling my emotions sometimes...I could be having a wonderful day at work,and as soon as someone says something to me that I dislike,my attitude becomes vicious and ruthless..This video reminds me that I need to work on that..
Do you agree with our list? Is there anything else you would add?
This is a great list. I feel it’s accurate. I would add that they also take care of themselves to the best of their ability.
They believe outside of themselves. Because otherwise they are focused on situations and circumstances? They are positive and believe things will turn around.
Sylvia Leads I agree with you.

Mentally strong people are usually introverted and always smiling and helpful to others even though they are going through tough times
Mentally strong people never cheat,instead they always learn from their mistakes.
focking right. they are true to their inner being. - love, true and kindness.
Soooo true 👌
@@miracleman. never 🤮 but straight 💪
Such people have strong principles which they believe in, and always stand by them. Self-respect matters to them as much as their genuine respect for others.
focking right. no wonder your bf has such quality.
Very true!
Excellent statement 👏
Mentally strong people also have one more trait. They don't get provoked easily. I have found them pretty judgemental. In a good way... this is something u don't get easily...
Suhinita Sinha , 👍
Very true ma'am 👍
That's right
@Matt Ludwig true indeed
Yes, drama free.
My strongest point is that I know how to accept and adapt !
I am capricorn, introvert, and I enjoy being alone. A balance between wisdom and emotion matter to me as a person. 🥰
I am Taurus introvert and I am almost similar.
@@susanmoran5226 My sister is Taurus, and we don't clash. I ❤ such chemistry.
@@johneduardoctavianoiv9749 Capricorn and Taurus are complimentary Earth signs .
I'm a capricorn myself and im very strong willed and will only do what i want to do i don't follow the crowd and im won't be made a fool either by anyone because god help them if they try im strong and independent and won't take any crap either from anyone who is trying to pull the wool over my eyes
@@CarolAnnRunham I feel you. We feel self sufficient most of the time when other zodiac signs get to connect to the world - - - to get going.
I love how everyone in the comments is mentally strong 😂🤦🏾♂️
Mentally tough*
Hahah yeah
Lmbo!
😆
Not Me.🙇♀️
Mentally strong people are loner...
They think very independently and don’t attach with crowd
Yup
sehwag282 yea. That’s me alright
but they don't see themselves as loner they just want to be alone but not really a loner because they're happy about it😁
@@maicomurray1221 i agree with u
That's me
I like being alone most of the time coz it's my way of recharging myself from draining people and situation. I don't want being used and I can definitely sense users.
The older I get the more I aligned with the traits of the mentally strong
Experience IS the best TEACHER...
Yes. Me too.
They also are open to different perspectives, views & opinions and often try to understand someone and their situation before passing judgment on them.
Great point! Not to judge others too easily. Strong people are more likely to see the beauty in others.
OMG! I was trying not smile throughout the whole video! It was so shocking to me cause you described me!!!
I’m smiling right now in disbelief!
I was told by my therapist (I have PTSD- childhood traumas) that the reason I’m so level headed after all I’ve been through is because I’m strong. Well, I didn’t know exactly what she meant by that and now I do... and I’m grateful you made this video😇 thank you 😊

Mentally strong persons are backed by access to deep spiritual
resources.
Olga Martin ❣️
Jesus is the one who gives true mental stability!
Alaswoe2u who is Olga Martin ?
I would like you to elaborate on access to deep spiritual resources.?
@@brendarealini4343 just ask Jesus to come into your life♡
Another trait would be, even when things really don't go your way whether financial or health wise, you don't get wrapped up feeling sorry for yourself. You move on and keep trying to be the best you can be.
"Patience is the companion of wisdom"...I loved that! Wisdom... another trait that slips through the cracks of an emotionally driven world. Be in charge of your emotions; take time to reflect on yourself and how you can become a better person in your community. To make, not only 'good' decisions, but 'wise' decisions that are based on wisdom, is paramount for a healthy, mental and emotional life. Truly enjoyed this video!

I learned over the years that today I am here in this day and I do matter. Those who have done wrong to me in the past dont matter and I wont and cant dwell on the past cause Im here now and whatever was then isnt now and today I will be happy and live my moment because I made it through to today so I have a victory.
IBT: Because I'm strong enough, I'm smart enough, I'm handsome enough--and, doggone it, people LIKE me!
As a former business owner, now retired. Mental strength was a necessity in my line of business. Making calm cool rational choices to problems will always occur and how we handle those tough choices sets the precedence, whether a business fails or succeeds.
I agree with all of this. I had a rough life and you can always learn and make your life and everyone else's better
when life gives you tough situations to deal with it’s like exercising your emotions.
Basically, I need help on these:
1. I know when someone is trying to use me but I turn a blind on it even if I ended up hurting.
2. I don't know how to say no!!!! I get uneasy whenever I see the reaction of the person asking me when I turn them down so I just can't, I really find it hard to say no, this is something I want to learn and to change about myself.
3. Rather than giving constructive criticism, I always choose to say something that won't offend anybody. Even if it's something constructive yet offensive, I just shut my mouth and not say anything.
That dosent mean ur not mentally strong ....theres nothing to fear but fear itself.... understand that and you'll b grand
Some of these qualities resonate with me; Especially, the most important one: "Learning to say, "No."" There's some things in life worth considering and you need to place your foot down.
I learned to overcome my bipolar disorder by handling pain in a long relationship with a narcissistic disordered person. All what is shown in the video was helpful treats to build up to strength out of me. Thanks for showing us guys what is helpful to our life
Mentally strong people Forgives and move on.
I think this is the hardest one. Only the strongest can do this. Nothing can break this kind of people.
Ehmjae Topp But we don’t forget.
Yeah after they've got few truths out the, way first.
I would say accept, (don't have to like) and then move on.
After I do some adjusting - we’re good 🏴☠️
Mental strength is a choice and an attitude.
* It is also a trait that is developed in life as time goes by, if you are willing to develop it.
That's my opinion not sure what others might think.
Fuck what others think. Thats what being mentally strong is all about👍
Mentally strong people are faithful and honest. They value true friendship and soft spoken. They will gladly put others first before them.
Mentally strong people are open-minded and understands the environment around them. Mentally strong people always finds A way to find adversity no matter what happens. I can resonate well with the last comment on the video so much.
Rolan. Sorry but do you mean ‘fight’ adversity and not ‘find’ it? I don’t think mentally strong people go looking for adversity! Other than that agree with you.
Studying health behavior, psychology and neuroscience has helped me learn so much about myself. And overtime I have improved. It takes work. As a cognitive neuroscientist, these signs are right on the spot. During college, I had less of these, but after graduate school and my doctorate, I can say, now I feel confident to say that I am similar to all of these. Overall saying "no" was most difficult, but soon I realized how much stronger and happier I was, while approaching it perfectly, others wee more integrity in you. Thank you for posting this.
Story of my Life. I mean that in a positive way. I don't like having to be"tough", , but there are times when it is vital.
Almost all of them exist in my case,but the one trait which always made me think i am not so normal is that i love alone times,i can't fit into cliche groups.i was so worried about my poor social interaction skills but now i have a good feeling about it,i am very selective in social interactions it has benefits 😊
Rn: Especially when the people you hang out with play with GUNS.
Don't worry, lots people are just like you
Rekha nair just same like me
That's why you are mentally strong. That is a big part of it. Figuring out that you are fine just the way you are; without disrespecting anyone, being rude, being mean and without any guile in your heart toward anyone. Being true to you.
Same
Absolutely correct ! Thank you. I like me for being me. Took life experience to teach me the wisdom and I am happy, joyful and free to speak truth and care for other's.
I agree with your list 100%
Because thats what i'm doin.
But when i was a young man,i wasn't like that.
But i learned while i was suffering and i was reflecting about everything.
One of the most important lessons that i learned was to stop wishful thinking,and looking straight into the eyes of reality,without giving up.Sometimes this isn't easy,cause you have to reflect about your own mistakes,but in a long run,it brings you inner peace,cause you don"t waste your time anymore waiting on a moment that just don't come.
I have never cared what other people think of me and I relish my alone time.
Awesome video guys!! Thanks
Reminds me of a quote I read " Soft & strong is a combination few have mastered"
I have learned to say "NO" and it is powerful!
I love how I’m mentally strong but emotionally unstable
Sorry, but this isn't possible. If you cannot control your emotions you are not mentally strong. If you're not controlling your emotions, who or what is controlling you? 👀
Emotionally unstable is emotionally out if control. Just sayin'.
I'm very rational and a thinker. My emotions such as crying or anger don't come out easily. But I will act emotionally in romantic situations and stay in situations that aren't the best fit for too long. Balancing the heart and brain is necessary and they aren't the same.
Mud Fox 🤣🤣
Mud Fox. Love it!!
Lovely video thank you so much.
Spending time alone doesn't mean that you are lonely .
Patience with people and everything is a virtue.
I’m super mentally strong. Not only I fit into all these categories, but I am also strong enough to stay away from negative and toxic people. Be strong enough to be surrounded by who you truly like rather than being stuck and fixated on unhealthy friendships and relationships.
Very true when u delete negative people toxic thngs gone
jacquline mushi yup
Another great video and thank you for making it. The one trait I have found most helpful over the last 30 years is to acknowledge promptly when I am wrong and apologize
I just realised that I am not a mentally strong person and need to seriously work on that.
That is actually a sign of mental strength. Being able to acknowledge a thing allows you to change it. It's simply a phase of the Mental Strength cultivation process. Congratulations! You are already on your way!
being honest with self is a step in the right direction.
they're a lot of things i know i should work on but i'm too lazy. but i'm honest with self enough to say so
Ah, recognizing one's flaws makes one mentally strong.
You are honest about your self there fore you are strong!
This video has described my life's mental Improvements throughout my entire life. It's great to continuously get confirmation that your doing it right. Other confirmation comes from the teachings of Jesus. Amen
Saying exactly what you mean takes a while to master you never want to appear petty and toxic!
@Phillip Hiller you having a laugh? most employers are complete nob-heads.
That is me; no messing, no shouting... my great nan used to say "those who shout, lose out; always be constructive".
You had a great, great Nan I can tell from her words she was a Sweet Lady
About me 100%.
One thing I want to add
Not everyone appreciate when you give feedback, some of people get upset and characterise me as a rude person. Despite i cant overstep my believes.
Most customers like it ,that why I have very stable business .
Hah! I love the opening where you said "we all go through crap in life!" Right on! And thanks so much for your incredible insights! Your channel absolutely rocks!😎💜🌍🌠
The one about controlling about your emotions hit me the most. When even I go through something, I allow my emotions to get the best of me. And the people pleasers one. I would try to stop speaking my own opinions on things just because I would be afraid if I would hurt people
Dankie for the video 🙌
I would add..you have STANDARDS in choosing a romantic partner. I see many people picking anything with a pulse for fear of being judged they are single. So they put up with being treated like dirt because they care what society thinks about them being single for too long.
skorpia g So true.i wish more people realise this
so you single too?
amen. men are often guilty of chasing after a pretty face often finding that the relationship is devoid of substance and quality. I've been guilty of this. not again.
This is true. Not just a partner but anyone you choose to spend time with socially. 👍🏾
There are no quality people.
I enjoy Solitude. 😻
Ajay _
That is my hobby Solitude💋
That means you enjoy your own company. Good quality to have
me too
I LOVE SOLITUDE! PEOPLE ANNOY ME
Saaameeee 😍😍😍
this was really great! it gives you a better perspective on yourself, where you could have done better, and where you can improve. really, really good stuff. thank you!

#13: Accept people for who they are. Don’t try to fix them. They’re not broken just different.
Not caring what people say about me that is DEFINITELY one thing I have. And the information has a good solid point right there!
Lots of ppl say I am a mentally strong person and I didnt really get what they meant. This video helped :)
If u get married u get mental
@@SanaKhan-ol7se as a mentally strong person relationship may break you but mentally strong people will know how to solve the problem within the relationship and do not became fully mentally unstable
@@ItsAstie ,😎
I would say I am really good at looking at solutions. I do not like to complain and explain. I believe there is a solution for almost any problem.
Centsible Living With Money Mom yep that's right. Even walking away is a solution and sometimes the best one
Wow, I d not even think of that one. Thank you for the comment back.
Centsible Living With Money Mom --- you bet!... funny thing I have a graduate degree in counseling psychology. I'll tell you what it's saved my life. I come from one of the most toxic family backgrounds ever six brothers and sisters same parents. I lived through it and yes I forgive them and hopefully they forgive me too but unfortunately most of them have not gotten past all the ridiculous baggage. Healing and reaching out little by little.
i agree. the solution for every problem, is to take emotion out of it, and simplify. don't read into what's not there.
yeah, u r completely right. I wish everyone thought like you
Mentally strong people have the will to resist distractions so they can focus on their goals
Thanks be to God, he gave me exactly all these 12 traits... I mean I'm really a Mentally Strong Person... Honestly, It is just a wasting time to think more about problems rather than thinking out the solutions while keeping your faith and spirit high despite of the trouble we were facing... Trusting God was the biggest weapon to fight back against our struggles...
Mentally strong people know exactly when enough is enough and they will be able to recognize and leave toxic people out.. and most important they will follow their dreams even if that means to step away from those who say that's not possibile..
Thank you. This is a big one to me ❤
All 12 points apply perfectly, in my case and actually, I was really thrilled, as each one came along and I was able to say, that's ME. Thanks.
YES SIR took me 61yrs to SAY NO.... THANKS FOR SHARING GREAT INFORMATION AND VIDEO . LOVE HUGGS AND KISSES FROM THE ANGELS
Especially nowadays be very careful in choosing friends, news and books to read.where everything is fake and all lies. Only you alone, are true to yourself. And TRUST is so hard to give. Being Alone is better than being with fake people.
Very True....the power of information and people can be very influential. Protect your aura, energy and power from the fake people and fake news.
Mentally strong people are comfortable in their own skin. They are not subject to accept toxic people for the sake of being with someone. They have interest that achieve success for themselves. They are not afraid to be alone and interact when they want to , not when someone pushes them to do so. They are also private and don't hang onto Facebook wondering about other peoples lives. It's great.
I absolutely agree with this as I resonate very well. Honesty, congruent and being genuine are also traits of mentally strong people.
I feel mentally stronger, knowing I’m mentally strong😊 all of this describes me.
LOL..me too
Wow, this made me feel so good!! I could not be prouder of myself!! The only one I need to work on is 10, controlling my emotions!
Just like the other videos, this is another great one. I relate to from 3 to 12 and working on 1 & 2. Thanks for posting this and strong minds to all fans over here.
I can agree with most of which what said. Disappointing things happen but if you wait, it always happens for the better. Carol
This made me realize my character development throughout the years, and now I'm looking forward to see myself in the Future.
Learning to say no was so hard at first for me
Yeah, it can be very challenging but it’s important to learn that.
I think the more you do it, the easier it becomes and the better you feel because you're being real. Saying yes when you really want to say no is you being untrue to yourself and the other person.
Absolutely I’ve had a problem with this for years finally just starting to break free and It feels amazing
Bryan Williams glad to hear you got past that brother. God bless.
Bryan Williams whaaa? You just say it. Like, "no". How hard can that be? It's like allowing a mirror to fall instead of catching it.
Mentally strong people are decision makers. They don't get hang up on things but keeping moving forward learning from mistakes as they journey through life.
I enjoyed watching this video. I also relate to all of it. I've been on my own since I was 14 and I learned to be responsible, respectful, to keep my word, follow through no matter how long it takes and how to hold myself accountable. I also like how you showed diverse images in your video; multiple gender's, race's and complexions. Good stuff.
I accept myself by whom I am and love myself.There many traits in me which many people do not like but I don't care because i like the way I am.I admit when I am wrong and say sorry.I am bold enough to say no to other people and I am straight forward.I think everyone one have their own perspective and I surely do respect it.I also enjoy solitude and tries to improve my personality.
Saying NO is my favorite word, makes me feel real me and more honoring my self and feel more stronger.
I’m mastering my last weakness,
Saying no
Your LAST weakness ? No disrespect , but very often when you master one you'll trip over another one going forward. Good luck.. .
l love my solitude
a source of strength
I kinda like the college of winter hold or white run better lol skyrim joke
I prefer my own company and I have been this way since I can remember!
So do I. I do a lot of gardening on my own and love it. Same with walking through the countryside, better on my own than with company.
So do I. Actually I do not just love it I require it.
Well, I only have four of these ten traits; however, it's always a work in progress. Thank you for the great video. 😊
Everything is on point. I love, when I am figured out by some random stranger for who I truly am and not what they heard by others. Live & Let Live ...
Mentally strong people are not afraid to speak truth. They also do take decision to change themselves and are not very much afraid , when they change a career . While all others say that you are a hopeless fellow and can not achieve a thing which you have started , and still you continue only because you believe in yourself , shows that you are mentally strong. And you finally achieve it after so many failures also shows you are mentally strong.
Powerful tool for achieving
Happiness: You seldom encounter
Problems where you find yourself
Tangled up in things you might
Have said: because you are
Constantly aware of what you
Are saying..
People have always told me I was "as strong as dirt." The Phoenix is my favorite metaphor.
I resonate with the loving and accepting and understanding yourself part and solitude part mostly thanks for the video.
In a manipulated world, holding your own and taking responsibility for yourself seems to be a rare breed, strong people in my mind need to be there for there loved ones, be a rock and to be a great role model for their children, strong people are generally in control but still have moments of weakness which is ok and we know it😉
Good...That qualifies me as a mentally strong person but the only problem I have is controlling my emotions sometimes...I could be having a wonderful day at work,and as soon as someone says something to me that I dislike,my attitude becomes vicious and ruthless..This video reminds me that I need to work on that..
I don't care if the whole world says they are disappointed in me...
As long as I never say "I am disappointed in myself".....
