Each one of us is unique. Every person sees and relates to the world differently, and for this reason, what is mentally healthy includes a wide range of possibilities. Generally speaking, however, people who are successful tend to share the following traits:
Do you value yourself? While all of us enjoy being praised on occassion, people with healthy self-esteem know their own value and don't always rely on others to tell them they are worthwhile.
Are you able to " roll with the punches "? Successful people are able to handle challenges at each stage of life, even though they might be temporarily put off by them.
Do you expect too much of yourself? Of others? While successful people can and do set goals to reach for, they are realistic about what they can accomplish and aren't afraid to say no to themselves or others when it's clear the expectation is too great.
Are you aware of your feelings? Do you allow yourself to experience them without judging them as good or bad? We all have feelings that may sometimes seem irrational, but successful people are able to acknowledge them and move on instead of denying their existence.
Can you accept responsibility for what you do or the choices you make? While it's human nature to make excuses once in a while, successful people are able to accept responsibility for themselves and their actions. At the same time, they refrain from denying responsibility or blaming others.
Can you ask for help? Sometimes it's hard for us to admit that we can't solve a problem ourselves, but successful people ask for and get help if they need it.
