15 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Believe

 There are so many misconceptions and downright lies
that most people accept wholeheartedly, while
those who are truly happy with their lives know to
avoid them. To be like them, check out this list of 15
things that mentally strong people don’t believe.

 1. They don’t believe in
the pass-fail model.
Mentally strong people
don’t believe in the big red
F. Every experience, even
the one that didn’t go well,
is something you can learn
from. If you consider
things that you have done
in your life as simple
failures, then you need to
start thinking more
complexly. Mentally strong
people understand this, so
should you.
2. They don’t believe that failure is inevitable.
Even the most disastrous circumstances can turn
around, if you have the right attitude. Mentally strong
people don’t believe that there is a point where you
should give up, so you shouldn’t believe it either. As
long as there is will there is hope, so keep pushing
forward even when the odds are stacked against you.
3. They don’t believe life is meaningless.
If mentally strong people couldn’t believe that there is
a purpose to the world, they would never have
become mentally strong.
4. They don’t believe things will always go the
way you expect.
If you’re a pessimist, you should stop expecting
storms. If you’re an optimist, you should stop
assuming there will never be clouds in the sky. Always
be prepared for the inevitability that our days can be
very unexpected, either for good or for ill.
5. They don’t believe that there is no hope.
Mentally strong people don’t believe that there’s a
dark place that you can’t crawl back from. Your hope
for the future is very much in your control, so own
your fears and push past them.
6. They don’t believe that miracles don’t exist.
Unlike the overly negative, mentally strong people
don’t believe that the miraculous is impossible. That
doesn’t mean they believe in a higher power, per se,
but they are convinced that truly great things can
happen to you if you don’t let negativity get in the way.
7. They don’t believe they have to do everything
perfectly.
Perfection is a myth. The circle is one of the most
beautiful constructs in the world, and still it has an
infinite number of decimal points. Learn to round to
3.14 in certain aspects of your life so that you don’t
become obsessed with the idea of perfection.
8. They don’t believe in waiting too long for the
right moment.
The right moment is when you take action, so why
wait? When the opportunity is there, seize it and don’t
look back.
9. They don’t believe their past inhibits their
future.
Mentally strong people don’t believe in the restraints
of the past that prevent future success. Everything can
be overcome, with energy and time.
10. They don’t believe they die alone.
Too many think that, no matter how many friends they
have in life, everyone dies alone. Mentally strong
people don’t believe that lie, understanding that the
relationships you cultivate are always with you even if
no one is sitting by your deathbed.
11. They don’t believe cruelty is necessary.
Mentally strong people don’t believe that you have to
be mean to see results. Drill sergeants can make their
cadets run a hundred laps, but positive
encouragement is what will mold them into better
individuals.
12. They don’t believe they have learned all there
is to learn.
Some would say they know everything they need to.
Others know better. Mentally strong people don’t
believe that there is ever a point where we stop
learning. The world continues to change around us, so
our education should be never-ending.
13. They don’t believe that they need a substance
to feel better.
Many are stuck in a rut where they need something to
make them feel better, whether it be drugs, alcohol,
food or something else. Mentally strong people don’t
believe that you can never break free of that
dependence.
14. They don’t believe in weakness.
Mentally strong people are better off than most when
it comes to well-being, but they don’t consider others
weak for not being as happy as they are. Everyone is
dealt different circumstances, and it’s a tougher road
to good mental health for some than others. The
mentally strong understand that fact.
15. They don’t believe change is impossible.
A lot of people refuse to accept the idea that people
can change, but mentally strong people don’t believe
someone can’t grow to be better. If they did, they
would have never gotten to the great place they’re at
today.
