Number 7: Credit their success
Do you apologize for your success? You worked hard to get where you are today, you put in long hours, you made hard decisions, you made your fair share of sacrifices and now you have something to be proud of.
But instead of embracing your accomplishments, you’re embarrassed by them, you undermine them, you sell yourself short, you feel guilty for something that you spent years chasing with everything you had.
Too many people make this mistake on a regular basis, they apologize for their own success, as though success is something you should feel ashamed of. But mentally strong people learn to be proud of their achievements, they take credit for any success they found in life because it took hard work and dedication to get there.

Instead, look backward at the person you were yesterday and make sure that you’re moving forward in your own life. If you grow even a little bit every day hey, you’re mentally strong.
