Humans are action biased. We often fail to recognize that success is the balance of doing and refraining from doing.
Mentally strong people DON'T:
-Waste Time Feeling Sorry for Themselves
-Give Away Their Power
-Shy Away from Change
-Waste Energy on Things They Can’t Control
-Worry About Pleasing Others
-Fear Taking Calculated Risks
-Dwell on the Past
-Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over
-Resent Other People’s Success
-Give Up After Failure
-Fear Alone Time
-Feel the World Owes Them Anything
-Expect Immediate Results

Things Mentally Strong People DON'T Do
Re: Things Mentally Strong People DON'T Do
Nice list -- copied it straight into my journal entry for today.
I like advice phrased in the negative because its usually more concrete and easier to follow. Plus it encourages improvement by subtraction.

Re: Things Mentally Strong People DON'T Do
Listen to the schadenfroh comments people make. People are miserable, selfish creatures. Don't f--king listen to it.
Re: Things Mentally Strong People DON'T Do
Sorry wasn't trying to be too negative but I always thought the concept of schadenfreude which is pretty common is one of the most annoying parts of life.
