Mentally strong people make mistakes. Be gentle on yourself.

Lost my young wife, son, brother, some close friends in disease and accidents and moved on without regreting my life choices who ended up like that. And that paper burning thing wont work att all. Its in your mind if you stay in the land of sorrow or move on. Not in smashed or burning things. When you look back. Look at the happy moments and not the bad and give full throttle to the next thing in life. Its all to short already to dwell in the past. But i agree in, learn by your mistakes and treat those moments like an experience of things who didnt work out that good for you or maybe was just great. And dont forget, listen to friendly advices but in the end make your own. And last, smile sometimes. One day its over no matter what. Take care. ♥️👍

“If you want to avoid repeating a mistake, spend some time studying it. Set any negative feelings you might have aside, acknowledge the factors that led up to your misstep, and learn from it.”

I needed this video now more than ever ! Thank you youtube recommendation. Amongst everything happening in this world due to COVID 19, I am about to loose everything I worked for in the past 3 years. My life has come to a stop. And I can't find a way out. I have been angry and frustrated. With no one to talk to. This gave me some comfort.

Everyone reading this may you live a Successful life. Your brother is praying for you.

All of these insights were great and very helpful. As a psychologist and counsellor I found this very nicely summarised and succinctly put. My only criticism is of the title of the book and this subsequent video, namely because using the title mentally 'strong' by it's very nature suggests that people who do not do these things, are in the opposite 'camp' and are therefore mentally 'weak'. Weak being opposite to strong, this is not a good starting point for people to begin from, to be told that by not thinking a certain way, that they are 'mentally WEAK'. Apart from this shortfall, this is an excellent article.

One of the most helpful things I have found to avoid getting pulled down into the muck of someone's words or actions is I have learned to minimize (I won't say "not care") the importance of what other people think of me. If I know I am doing the best I can in any circumstances, that is all I can do. If my best isn't good enough for them, then it is out of my control. Trying to please people who disagree with us is the wrong path. When you keep high standards of behavior and thought, you don't need to make someone else your master.

Oh oh oh...
I read this book 2 months back, and LOVED it !
After watching your video, I realized that this would be the PERFECT time to re-read this book, during these difficult days. Let me get my kindle!
Thank for a great video, and a beautiful choice of book at this time!
We need all the mental strength we can muster at this point of time!

Instead of saying, "no more", say, " I want to know more." The power of knowledge is a most remarkable thing. Also, a mistake is not a mistake if it is corrected.

The part Amy missed is, it's not just mentally strong but emotionally strong as well- this is where people excel the most. I love the saying "protect your heart, your mind and your wallet".

This is an excellent video, which should be taught to schoolchildren whilst young.

It basically summarises everything I learned whilst in the Military some forty years ago.

This was timely. I had watched her TED talk and forgotten some of its passages, so thank you for reminding them.

I LOVED this video and was going to share it with my clients who struggle with co-occurring addiction and mental health issues. The ONE part where you say that you're not like the alcoholic that keeps going back to drinking, over and over.... doesn't fit. Addiction, being a chemical dependency on an external substance, is not just a "mistake" they can just quit.
Love the video, but I won't be sharing with them sadly. Aside from this one thing, it's well done and will work for the right population.

This incorporates the most important parts of Stoic philosophy which was around in the third century BC.

Summary for myself:
1) Mentally strong people don't feel the world owes them anything: Just because you are a 'good' person, does not mean you deserve something more than another. Something bad happened in your life? Think about others who have it worse and what you have in your life to still be grateful.
2) Mentally strong people don't focus on things they can't control: This is similar to the 'circle of influence' concept. Focus on the things you CAN control and how you react to situations.
3) Mentally strong people don't make the same mistake over and over again: They ask 'why' the mistake happened in the first place and then determine ways to prevent it happening again.

This is the most followed YouTube channel for me!! For sure the influence is humongous. Thank you, best wishes to you 🙏

Thank you so much for this. I was sent this video by a friend weeks ago but was putting it off out of fear. I’m ready to take the necessary steps to start living my life
