Emotional Strength

At school we are all taught to do well academically, or to excel at sport or the arts. We are measured by our success in academia by our grades or the height we reach in our sports. However, we are never measured on our emotional strength.

I know so many individuals who are great at sport or who have the best degrees possible, yet emotionally they are weak. Weak? Yes, weak in a sense that they have not trained their emotions. They have trained their academic brains, or sporting prowess but not their emotional strength.

Yet, if you look at some of the most successful entrepreneurs and individuals they are emotionally in control. They have been through the ups and downs of running their own show, but by constantly challenging their emotions they have created the emotional strength they require to succeed in life today. Being a successful entrepreneur requires emotional strength...do you have it? Or do you need to develop it?
