Strong Mind

                                 We live in turbulent times. If you and I are to overcome the obstacles in our way, we’re going to need a strong mind.

When your brain is in "focus" mode, it uses what is called the task-positive network. This is a series of brain regions that work together to make sure you can accomplish those tasks that require intense concentration. Its opposite is something called the default mode network. It's activated whenever you aren't trying to focus on anything in the external world. It's your brains "default" and it reverts back here ALL the time - even when you are trying to focus.

A strong mind is persistent, determined and decisive........

No matter the circumstances around us, we will need to rely upon the mental toughness we normally look for in our heroes, not in ourselves.We admire heroes like Robin Hood and James Bond because they embody the characteristics that we’ve valued throughout the ages. Heroes let us feel what it’s like to have the mental toughness to break out of our boring little existence and enter into a much bigger world—one that is full of possibility.

A  strong mind  have  a great capacity to face challenges. Being strong means having the resources, the mental skills, and the physical capabilities to confront difficulties of all kinds. When a person is strong-minded, they have the energy and stamina to face a challenge without being robbed of inner strength.
Mental toughness gives us the courage to grow from the stress we experience in life. It is a mindset comprised of several qualities and attitudes. They need confidence, courage, commitment, control of themselves. A strong mind shuts out feelings of fear and inadequacy and focuses on reaching the goal.   The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals, but not making an attempt.

Toughness is in the spirit and soul and not in your muscles.
