James Donaldson on Mental Health – The Success Document

There are many ways to define success, and what it means to be successful can vary from person to person. However, here are some general tips that can help you be successful in life:

———————

Set clear goals:

Successful people often have a clear vision of what they want to achieve and work towards it consistently. Take the time to identify your goals and make a plan to achieve them.

Stay focused and motivated:

It can be easy to get sidetracked or lose motivation, but successful people are able to stay focused and motivated even when faced with challenges.

Take action:

Successful people don’t just sit around and wait for things to happen; they take proactive steps towards achieving their goals. Don’t be afraid to take risks and try new things, as this can help you learn and grow.

Seek out new opportunities:

Successful people are always on the lookout for new opportunities and ways to improve themselves and their circumstances. Keep an open mind and be willing to try new things.

#James Donaldson notes:
Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.
Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.
Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticle

Learn from your mistakes:

Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process, and successful people recognize this. Instead of dwelling on their mistakes, they use them as opportunities to learn and grow.

Stay positive:

Successful people often have a positive outlook and focus on the good things in life. This can help them stay motivated and resilient when faced with challenges.
