Swagger at 60: Code of Mental Toughness

I will show up and 'bring it' every day

Whether a good day or a bad day, I will show up with intention.

I will not complain nor make excuses

Complaining is the refuge of those who have no self-reliance.

I will lead by example

understanding that it isn't always easy and it isn't always fair

I will focus relentlessly on solutions

and not fixate on the problems

I will differentiate myself from others

and place responsibility for actions and feelings where they belong

I will remain a non-anxious presence

by separating myself from surrounding emotional processes

I will remain effective without needing approval

And without the need for appreciation and affection, although I enjoy them. The best life is lived in self-mastery with an ability to soothe one's self in difficult times.
