“Seek not goof from without; seek it within yourselves, or you will never find it.”
-Epictetus

When something goes well, it’s easy to recount the actions we took to make it happen. When something doesn’t we may do the opposite and place the blame on external factors, not ourselves.

A core tenant of mental toughness is responsibility.
We must accept that we played a role in all of our successes AND failures.
