Life has a way of testing your mental strength when you least expect it. The true sign of mental strength doesn’t lie in what you do; it’s what you don’t and absolutely won’t do. The greater the challenge, the more difficult it is to respond with mental fortitude.
It’s hard to be mentally strong, especially when you feel stuck. The ability to break the mold and take a bold new direction requires that extra grit, daring, and spunk that only the mentally strongest people have.

“Thank goodness all our mistakes were burned up. Now we can start fresh again.”

1. They don’t dwell on mistakes...tell it to Kaepernick or whatever he's called and those multi-million dollar athlete poseurs who insist on wallowing in the relatively minor problems this country still has to work out instead of the fact that half a million people died a hundred and fifty years ago to end slavery and as a follow up the people of the country elected legislators and administrators to pass and implement civil rights assurances......

Not a very impressive article.
In today’s world, the mentally strong are those who don’t allow popular media tell them how to live.

Use a different browser like Chrome to open it.
But don’t bother. Bunch of touchy-feely bs.

The site has an opening page with the Quote of the day.
But on the right upper part of page is an arrow to continue to the site. ....
The quote is usually worth the read too

100% propaganda from your local University/College to make sure “strong” folks fall in line with the agenda.
