Mental Toughness Video Blog From Steve Siebold
How do you become Mentally Tough? What exactly is Mental Toughness? Is mental Toughness something with which you are born, or something you learn? These are 3 of the most common questions I’ve gotten over the past 35 years. In this video post, I’ll address all 3, once and for all. And to further expand you’re knowledge, subscribe to my new Mental Toughness Podcast. Every week I go into depth on this critical component of success. www.MentalToughnessPodcast.org
Studies show that 99.8% of the population is severly addicted (7-scale) to the approval of others. This is not surprising, since are ancestors relied heavily on tribe approval for survival for at least 100,000 years. It’s in our DNA, and it’s one of the most debilitating psychological diseases known to man. It’s also illogical, as we know that few people outside of our closest family and friends spend any meaningful amount of time thinking about us. Watch this short video to see where you stand, as well as some suggestions on how to overcome it. For a deeper dive into the
In an opinion piece published on February 14, 2002, in the New York Times, former federal Judge Michael Luttig stated that “Trump and his political allies are a clear and present danger”. This goes beyond the insurrection of January 6th, 2021, when a delusional mob attempted to thwart the peaceful transfer of power and hang the Vice President of the United States. Thankfully they failed, with no help from the White House. 5 people were killed and many more injured, yet millions of Americans deny the historical, social and criminal significance of this attempted takeover of our nations capitol.

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, which is the constitutional right for a woman to have an abortion. The christian, religious right has been fighting for this since 1973. The question is, should the U.S. government be able to tell a woman what she can do with her body? This decision will have an enormous impact on the lives of American women, especially poor American women. 20% of children in America are food insecure, and this number will skyrocket in the next 5 years. Please watch this short video and share your opinion on this important subject, even if
he world is upside down. Covid, war in Europe, inflation, politcal polarization, possible recession. The news isn’t good, and its easy to get down. How do you stay mentally tough when the sky seems to be falling? Watch this short video for the answer.
America is in the fight of its life. And if America dies, democracy around the world won’t be far behind. For 246 years, we’ve been the shining city on the hill, but today, we are more divided than ever. On January 6th, 2021, rioters broke into the nations capitol, resulting in the deaths of 5 people while hundreds were injured. The angry mob threatened the hang Vice President Mike Pence, while President Trump watched on TV, refusing to help. The mob was stalking Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, with the intent of kidnapping or killing her. These are not opinions,
America is drowning in a cesspool of extremism. Suddenly, making wild claims, conspiracy theories and accusations no longer requires a shred of evidence. Politcal leaders, traditional media pundits and social media influencers have become emboldened enough to make things up and convince a significant, poorly educated percentage of population that their lie is true. And it doesn’t seem to matter how extreme the lie or how large the conspiracy; these people will believe almost anything. This is happening on both sides of the political isle, from both liberals and conservatives. The answer is finding our ideological middle ground, and while it
19 children and 2 teachers are being buried in Uvalde, Texas this weekend; the innocent victims of another mass shooting. The National Rifle Association decided to hold their convention anyway, creating outrage and protests. Some of the entertainers cancelled out of respect for the families, others, like President Trump, spoke at the meeting. Was it right for the NRA to hold a gun convention following a mass murder of 19 children? Are they right, or evil? Do they really care about how these parents feel? Or should they have gone about business as usual? (which is what they did) Gun control
Mental Toughness/Critical Thinking question #2 of our series on contoversial subjects that matter. The purpose of this question is to engage in robust, yet civil discourse, minus ad hominem attacks. The United States and democracy are in peril, and the consequences of complicity could be grave. We need to speak up, respectfully, and find common ground with those whom we disagree. Watch this short video and weigh-in.
It’s time for civil discourse to take over in the United States, and around the world, to help us find middle ground on issues that matter. Lets replace ad hominem attacks with thoughtful debate, no matter how heated the subject. Mental Toughness means emotional control; as well as the ability to think critically under pressure. Public figures and politicians appear to be more interested in ratings and getting elected than leading. So in the spirit of robust, yet respectful debate, I’m challenging this 15,000 person community to engage. Our first debate involves Roe vs. Wade, and whether or not it should
