Blogger Amy Morin has put together a wildly popular post covering 13 things about mentally strong people. Here are some of my favorites:

(1) Don’t waste time feeling sorry for yourself.

(2) Don’t let others control your feelings.

(3) Embrace change.

(4) Take calculated risks.

(5) Don’t dwell on the past.

(6) Avoid repeating mistakes.

(7) Celebrate success.

(8) Patiently wait for results.

(9) Don’t give up.
