Truths of the mentally tough individuals

As you grow mentally tougher, you start seeing the world differently. The road less traveled becomes the path you choose. Day-in and day-out, you make decisions that appeal to your future self. It’s not enough to sit and watch television. You see value in reading, instead of going to the bar.

Decisions are simply different.

There are days that you want to quit – take a break. Re-live the past instead of focusing on the present. The mind of the mentally tough doesn’t allow that to take hold. There’s too much at stake.
