Mentally strong people aren’t afraid to look in the mirror and ask themselves: 

• “Where am I making excuses instead of progress?” 
• “Where am I avoiding the issue instead of owning it?” 
• “Where am I blaming instead of being brave?”

Holding yourself accountable isn’t always easy, but doing the right thing rarely is. 

Even if you can’t answer “always” to all of the questions above right now, that doesn’t mean you never will. With the right intention and tools, you can get — and stay — mentally stronger.
