When situations happen, we need to respond rather than react to it. When you respond, you try to have it under control. When you react, the situation controls you and when the situation has​ you under control, you tend to mess it up even the more, and this is where it gets more frustrating.

Whether you're dealing with a serious health problem, or you're faced with a financial crisis, tough times are inevitable. And it's during those tough times that your mental strength will be tested.

Without adequate mental strength, life's inevitable challenges will likely fill you with self-doubt and anxiety. Those uncomfortable feelings can lend way to negative thinking. And negative thinking will affect your behavior--which can inadvertently turn your catastrophic predictions into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Staying strong in the midst of hardship requires you to manage your thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Paying attention to all three areas will help you emerge from your struggles even stronger than before.

Situations happen not always to break us, but sometimes to force us out of our comfort zone to restrategize and to think.

This is true, as our mind can be our best asset or our biggest enemy. If you believe your negative thoughts, your self-limiting beliefs will prevent you from reaching your greatest potential.
