Welcome to the Game Changer Life. I'm Dave Anderson. In this episode, I want to talk about the key to building mental toughness. You hear a lot about mental toughness. I don't know

anything that it would not help performance with or in. I mean, if you're in school, you need

mental toughness. If you're in the workplace, if you're in sports, if you're in the private sector,

law enforcement, military, fire department, come on. If you're unemployed, right, you're struggling to

pay the bills to find a job. You need mental toughness. And so what is the key? We're going to talk

about the key. There are a lot of keys, whatever you mention the key, people want to debate it,

but I'm going to tell you what I believe the key is, and I believe it's faith. Now, maybe that's not what you were

thinking, but I believe that you cannot have mental toughness, whether having faith in something,

faith in yourself, the process, an ability, a belief system. Faith fuels mental toughness.

I mean, if you look up the definition of mental toughness, it talks about a measure of confidence and resilience that may predict success in sport, in education, in the workplace.

All right? So again, a measure of confidence and resilience. If you look up faith, complete trust or confidence in someone or something. And so the more complete trust and confidence you can have in your own

philosophy, in your own abilities, in your own belief system, in the process that you follow,

well, then you're going to have confidence and resilience that's going to help you in whatever

you try to do. Faith fuels mental toughness. So the question is, how do I build it?

Where does it come from? And we're also going to talk about the benefits, because you just see life

differently as you consciously work to build your faith, to get the garbage out, to build your faith.

I mean, everybody has faith in something. I'm not talking in religious terms here. You may have a religious faith, but if a non-believer didn't have faith, why would they get up in the

morning? They've got faith that something's going to happen good that day. Something positive.

Why would you even bother getting up if you didn't have some degree of faith? We need to make it bigger,

greater, more consistent, right? So we can have more mental toughness, become more resilient, become more confident, become unstoppable, and live the game change your life. You're not going to be unstoppable without mental toughness. I don't care about your talent. If you don't have mental toughness, you're not going to last. You're not going to survive. You're not going to sustain. Talent without toughness is a joke. Talent without toughness is an absolute waste. I'll tell you, I'll take toughness over talent every time. Give me the guy with a little bit of talent and a lot of toughness and will whip your tail every single time. That's how important toughness is.

We're going to talk about building it. Four or five ways. Talk about some benefits.

Before we get into it, though, it's time now four hour. Quick hit Q&A. Again, if you have a
