At work no matter where you are or what you’re doing, you need to develop and practice mental toughness to last the long haul.
Your goal could be anything – from career progression to making a difference to the world. But having one is the only way to decide whether you’re giving up on something because you’re fed up of the problems or it isn’t taking you in the direction you want your life to go in.
When everything seems to be going against you, the ability to uphold high standards will help you hold your head high. Don’t be the person who can be steered into any direction easily.
This is possibly the toughest part of mental toughness – the ability to remain emotionally stable while problems surround you at work. And unfortunately, the only way to learn this is by constantly trying.
Once you’re able to validate yourself internally, you will find yourself able to take rude, unappreciative bosses and their curveballs in your stride much more easily.
