Mental toughness is the ability to remain positive and proactive in the most adverse of circumstances….It’s built on doing the thing that is hard over and over again, especially when you don’t feel like doing it. Push through on your down days when you are not feeling your best. Distraction, discomfort, and difficulties are no match for the champion.
This dogged determination requires keeping your feet moving forward through inconvenience, substantial discomfort, and insecurities to reach your top goal.
Mental toughness can be demonstrated at a particular moment in time or over the long term, as in your overall career success. Doing the thing that is hard over and over again is like depositing money in your inner-strength bank account.
