Great post. For me the essence of mental toughness is Mohandas Gandhi who inspired an enslaved country defeated the mighty british empire without firing a bullet or Nelson Mandela who spent a third of his lifetime in prison and defeated apartheid through the force of his personality.

All these statemnts are entirely true because nothing good in life comes easy you have to sacrifice in order to achieve great things in life and in order to do that you need the ability to motivate yourself when your most tired physically such as lance armstrong the best cyclist in the world who had cancer and is still able to win the tour de france because of his mental strenghth which alot of people seek for as life is tough and the easiest thing to do is quit and hardest thing to do is go on achive your potential goals.

IMHO, Key #1 is quite possibly *the* most important step to building mental toughness – I’d estimate that by simply showing up, you’ve got 80% closer to your goal.

I’ve known people that have talked about running marathons or writing books, but almost every single one of them never even made the effort to put on some running shoes and go outside or grap a pen and paper. If they’d just gotten started, they’d be so much closer to finishing.

Cam:
I’m making the rounds tonight on your blog. Good stuff… very thoughtful and good perspective.

One thing I’m learning while training is that wherever your mind can go, the body with happily follow. If your mind can withstand a grueling workout, your body will readily follow suit.

But personally when I’m running, swimming, doing cals, doing under waters and really just hating life during a workout… I remember that Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”. I’d say Jesus was the ultimate man of mental toughness! Carrying the cross and the sin of the world is no easy task…

I took the time to reread this again and realized it would make a great addition to the Runners Lounge (www.runnerslounge.com) “Know How” section of articles. Would it be ok if I posted this article on the site with a link back and credit to you?
