203: How Mental Toughness Can Be Developed

"You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." ―Marcus Aurelius   High performers help others develop their mental toughness. They help them build their confidence by showing unconditional love and support. They help them let go of mistakes after learning from them. They help them focus on improvement and the process – sharing ways they have improved themselves but not comparing themselves to others.   Power Phrase this Week:    "I choose to build mental toughness in others. I model mental toughness for others."   Dr. Cindra Kamphoff is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Speaker and Author.
