Blame somebody else or take responsibility. A good mentor of mine a few years back told me very bluntly that the difference between being mental healthy and mental unhealthy is taking responsibly of any given situation instead of blaming others. Everything that happens we can change we have to take responsibility and choose how we act to respond

It’s interesting that the biggest sports stars and business men often come from under privileged backgrounds or from poorer communities or counties where they are not expected to make a name for themselves- but they are the ones who work the hardest. .

It’s been said that the people who are soft and who don’t have any resilience are always the ones that blame others, or the weather, or work for the reason that they are not successful, not fit, not strong

One of the biggest things that I am thankful for is the tough things that have happened in my life that I can use as a motivator. It’s like anything in life I.e- in the gym if you don’t train you will become soft and its suggested that the same happens to the mind. If you constantly challenge yourself putting yourself under pressure, mental pressure the you will become stronger. We have to become mentally tough and that only happens when we overcome challenges

A few questions to ask ourselves about mental health

1. Do I give up easily or do I promise myself- I will never give up
2. Do I break or keep all the promises I make to myself?
3. If things get tough, do I give up or keep going?
4. Do I always aim to do more than expected, just enough to get by, or less than I am capable of?
5. If it does not work out perfectly do I blame other people, other things or do I take full responsibility for my choices and actions?
6. Do I have a list of things I blame for why my life is the way it is, or why I have a bad day?
7. OR am I thankful for ALL that happens to me because it is the tough times / the challenges that make me stronger, tougher, wiser better?
