你的內心狀態是否總是平穩淡定的呢?你是否正花功夫讓自己的情緒恢復力更強?閱讀下面10大精神意志堅強的表現，如果你在觀察自己的進步，那麼就為自己的新發現慶賀吧。
1. You balance emotion and logic
1.你能平衡感性思維與邏輯思維
You can't make good decisions without some emotion, but you can't make good decisions with too much emotion either. The truly resilient strike the right balance.
沒有感性思維，你無法做出好的決定，但如果你的感性思維過於泛濫，也會阻礙你做出正確的選擇。真正的情緒平穩是適當的平衡。
2. You feel confident you can adapt to change
2.對自己的適應能力充滿自信
Change is a constant. That reality doesn't stress out the truly mentally strong.
變化是常常有的，但只要內心強大就不會被現實打敗。
3. You face your fears
3.你能直面恐懼
Everyone has fears and not every one of them needs to be conquered, but the very resilient among us strive to face the fears that hold them back.
每個人都有自己害怕的東西，並且不是每一件都得去克服，但我們內心的重要恢復力就在於不竭面對那些讓自己卻步的恐懼。
4. You learn from your mistakes.
4.你能從錯誤中吸取經驗
Don't justify them. Don't hide from them. Learn from them. That's what mentally strong people do.
別為犯錯找藉口，也不要隱瞞錯誤。從錯誤中學習。那就是內心強大的人會做的事情。
5. You balance self-acceptance with self-improvement
5.你能平衡自我完善與自我提高
Mentally strong people accept themselves for who they are, while simultaneously recognizing their need for personal development.
內心強大的人能接受自己，同時也能了解個人發展的需求。
6. You celebrate others' success
6.你能為他人的成功喝彩
If you truly feel strong, there's nothing to fear when others do well--in fact, there's a great reason to celebrate. The truly mentally strong don't feel as though other people's success somehow diminishes their own achievements. So if you sense your feelings of envy are diminishing, take it as a good sign that your resilience is improving.
如果你真的感受到內心的強大力量，那麼在別人成功的時候也沒有什麼值得擔憂的——實際上，這也是很值得慶賀的理由。真正的內心強大不會因他人的成功而感到對自己成就的削弱。所以當你感到自己的嫉妒感越來越少，那就可以確定自己正在不斷地增強心智。
7. You live according to your values
7.你能遵循自己的價值觀生活
Mentally strong people make decisions with relative ease because they understand their priorities and they live according to their values.
內心強大的人相當容易就能做出決定，因為他們能分清輕重緩急，並遵循自己的價值觀生活。
8. You don't need to achieve to feel good about yourself
8.你不必努力爭取自我滿足
It's natural to feel good when you succeed and bad when you fail, but the mentally strong don't let the ups and downs of life interfere with their essential self-image. Next time life deals you a blow, then, notice how deeply it affects you. If you can shrug it off more easily without feeling too bad about yourself, congratulations! You've likely achieved a high measure of mental strength.
成功時喜悅，失敗時悲傷是人之常情，但內心強大的人不會讓這些生活的起伏影響基本的自我形象。所以下次當你感到很糟糕的時候，那就留意一下這些情緒對你影響的程度有多深。如果你能毫無顧忌地把它拋之腦後，那麼恭喜你!你已經達到了很高程度的內心強大了。
9. You express gratitude
9.你會表達感恩之情
It's easy to look around and see all the things you lack, but the mentally strong choose to focus their attention on the things they do have--and feel grateful for them. Do you?
環顧四周，自己缺少的東西一目了然。但內心強大的人會選擇專注於當下真實擁有的東西，並以此表現感恩。你是不是也這樣呢?
10. You don't try to hide your weaknesses
10.你不會試圖掩蓋自己的弱點
Not only does trying to mask your weaknesses waste your energy, it also makes you less likely to put in the work necessary to improve these areas.
不僅在掩蓋弱點的過程會削弱自己的力量，還會減少實現自我完善的努力。
