We often judge a person by how smart he is because intellect is what makes a person successful.

The comparative

However, multiple studies have shown that emotional intelligence is far more important.

People with higher emotional intelligence tend to have better relationships, stronger

friendships and in general, tend to be more successful in life.

And that's not by accident because, as humans, we are emotional creatures.

We befriend people we trust and enjoy being around.

We work with people who know how to deal with other people.

But emotional intelligence isn't something that you are born with.

Often it's a skill that you should learn.

Let's find out if you are a mentally strong person.

Here are the seven signs of mental strength.

  mentally strong people are not reactive

I remember back in college, the students who use to get bad grades would always complain

about everything, the textbook was difficult to understand, the teacher wasn't good enough,

They always focus on the things they can't control.

On the other hand, a proactive person would say that the textbook is quite difficult to

understand, and the lecturer isn't the best, but that's not something I can control.

So instead of focusing on the thing that I can't change, why don't I focus on the things

I can control the amount of time and effort that I can put to get ready for this test.

And that's the difference between a proactive person and a reactive.

Reactive people are more concerned about their environment, if the weather is good, the food

good, if it's not, then it's going to negatively impact their attitude and performance, but

a mentally strong person understands that he has absolutely no control over the weather,

so whether it shines or rains, they don't care, they only focus on what they can control.  

People often value their worth by comparing themselves to others.

If you haven't achieved as much as your peers, you probably worth a lot less.

And in the world of social media and Instagram, it has only got worse.

Every time you pull out your phone to check out what's going in your Instagram feed, you

come across your friends who are doing something great, who's lives seem a lot better than

That destroys your self-esteem because you were on the same level a while ago, and somehow,

But mentally strong people understand that life, in general, is not a competition, and

comparing your worst times to your friend's best times isn't wise.

That will only lead to depression and anxiety.

Then, how should you measure your progress?

By comparing yourself to who you were yesterday?

If you are moving forward, if you are changing your life for the better, then you are on

We are all different in many ways, and your journey on this planet is going to be unique

The moment you compare yourself to others, you put yourself down, and mentally strong

Mentally healthy people know that the only person they can rely entirely on is themselves.

Of course, friends and family are essential, and their help is crucial, but the truth is

everyone is concerned about him or herself first.

How many times you were counting on a friend or a family member, but they let you down.

Don't expect too much from people because you will end up disappointed.

In fact, don't expect anything from anyone, and no one will ever disappoint you, and when

someone helps you out, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, experiences injustice.

That's when we think that life is unfair, but the truth is life has never been fair.

You don't choose where you are born, and yet being born in a first-world country gives

you significantly higher chances to be successful compare if you are born in a third world country

where you have to spend at least 12 hours a day just to put food on the table.

You don't choose your parents, genes, or talents.

You might be the most careful driver in the world, but someone else might be driving while

he is drunk and might cross the red light and hit you where you end up losing your legs,

It wasn't your fault, but yet you ended up losing your legs.

If you expect life to be fair to you, you won't go far.   

A wise man once said: "if you want to be please everyone, go and sell ice-cream!" if you want

to be a leader, if you want to achieve something great, you will have to upset some people,

you will have competitors, you will have enemies, or at least there will be some people who

Take an example of any successful person, bill gates, for example.

He is not an angel, of course, but he has given billions of dollars to different charity

organizations, spent billions of dollars to cure malaria in Africa, tried his best to

prepare the world for such a pandemic, invested billions into companies to help them develop

a vaccine faster and yet there are millions of people who hate him, criticize him and

That's the case with every other successful person.

Even if you achieve slightly more than your friends, they could get jealous and try to

In life, you will have to take tough decisions.

You will have to say No to people so that you will have the time to work on your projects.

Being mentally strong doesn't just mean being able to stand your ground.

It also means being emotionally strong enough to confront your deepest beliefs.

As a human being, you are subject to mistakes and weaknesses.

If you are not ready to change your opinion when you find out you are wrong, then you
