STRENGTH OF MIND:

Often the concept of willpower and strength of the human spirit are identified. But, to be precise, are completely different things.

The inner potential, a second wind, the reserves of the psyche and the body, emotional stability, the ability to remain calm and adequate thinking in extreme situations - all this is the power of the spirit. Examples of people who have it to the full, we see every day, just sometimes do not notice.

How to bring the power of the spirit? The first step - is to learn to love life in all its manifestations, cherish every passing minute. You must realize that constantly regret the past and fear the future mistakes meaningless. Past events have no way to change, and the future depends entirely on the present action, the current behavior and way of thinking are the basis for the future.

The next step should be an understanding of personal responsibility for their own lives and development. It is advisable to stop blame fate or a higher power. Everything that happens, sooner or later, as a bad and good, is the result of our own decisions and choices made.

The previous two steps are gradually moving to the third - the ability to understand and love others, to accept and respect their opinion, to forgive and sympathize. Really strong spirit man never answers any place on the evil committed. This does not mean that we should not seek justice and deserved punishment. Just fortitude requires the ability to recognize their own mistakes, to understand the motives and feelings of the other person to forgive even serious offenses.

Finally, the strong spirit have a firm stance and stable moral and ethical standards. This means that in any case it is not necessary to compromise personal principles and to adapt to the opinions of others. It should be properly and carefully, but firmly defend their views, to adhere to the chosen course of action. Of course, the ability to find a compromise is very valuable, but only if a way out does not humiliate personal dignity.
