Each one of us is unique. And every person sees and relates to the world differently. So what is considered mentally healthy varies for each one of us. The traits below are typically shared by people who experience success in their lives. See how you relate to the list and share your feelings with someone you trust.

Do you value yourself? While all of us enjoy receiving praise, people with a good sense of self-esteem know their own value and don't always rely on others to tell them they are worthwhile.

Are you able to "roll with the punches"? Successful people are able to handle challenges at each stage of life, even though they may be temporarily put off by them.

Are you flexible or do you always have to be right? Successful people are able to make mistakes, accept them as mistakes and not moral failings, and admit to them readily.

Do you expect too much or yourself? Or others? While successful people can and do set goals to reach for, they are realistic about what they can accomplish and aren't afraid to say no to themselves or others when it's clear the expectation is too great.

Are you aware of your feeling? Do you allow yourself to experience them without judging them as good or bad? We all have feelings that may sometimes seem irrational, but successful people are able to acknowledge them and move on instead of denying their existence.

Can you accept responsibility for what you do or the choices you make? While it's human nature to make excuses once in a while, successful people are able to accept resposibility for themselves and their actions. At the same time, they refrain from denying responsibility or blaming others.

Can you ask for help? Sometimes it's hard for us to admit that we can't solve a problem ourselves, but successful people ask for and get help if they need it. That's how they struggle and learn to be successful.
