Do you exhibit the characteristics of mental toughness? “The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.” - Orison Swett Marden

What do you hold valuable in your life? We Learn What We’ve Live
If we live with criticism, we learn to condemn. If we live with hostility, we learn to fight. If we live with ridicule, we learn to withdraw. If we live with shame, we learn to be guilty. If we live with tolerance, we learn to be patient. If we live with encouragement, we learn confidence. If we live with praise, we learn to appreciate. If we live with fairness, we learn justice. If we live with security, we learn to have faith. If we live with approval, we learn to like ourselves. If we live with acceptance and friendship, we learn to find love in the world.

How relentless are you at reaching your dreams? "A true hero never surrenders...He is distinguished from the others not by the great initial exploit or the pride with which he faces tortures and death but the constancy with which he repeats himself, the patience with which he suffers and reacts, the pride with which he hides his sufferings and flings them back in the face of the one who has ordered them. Not resigning himself is his secret, not considering himself a victim, not showing others his sadness and despair."
