Mental Power

Those who are strong willed are not hard to pick out. True mental power, however is sometimes hard to find.


Do You Have What It Takes? 
There are a lot of features that a person may own that may mimic the characteristics of a mentally strong individual. If somebody is obstinate, self-opinionated, blunt, bossy, or demanding some may see them as strong minded and may confuse that with power. Power isn't usually seen in the actions of a individual, instead in the response of that individual.

You may know a individual who seems to be a rock mentally. This individual seems to understand what they want and know how to acquire it. Not only that, they have an answer to every query, an view for every topic, and an thought for every circumstance. That might seem to be the formula for success in the head, but what happens when something fails? Or a plan or project fails again and again? This is where those who are mentally powerful strive and excel. There are 6 major features of mental power:

Assurance

Focus

Motivation

Bravery

Calmness

Resiliency 
Assurance 
Having the belief in yourself might increase your mental power if utilized correctly. If you trust in your power to succeed, then you're developing yourself for success and bracing yourself in case of obstructions. 
Focus 
When a individual can't stay centered it's easy for them to mentally break down in high pressure spots. The power to center on the task impending and stay centered on that task is an incredibly crucial skill that many can't seem overcome. 
Motivation 
Have you ever been truly charged up about a goal and then weeks later you misplace your excitement? Naturally you have, everybody has. Discovering motivation is easy, maintaining motivation is a challenge. Motivation links up closely with focus as the bulk of lost motivation stems from the deficiency of or a shift in focus. In spots when the climb is uphill, motivation, focus, and resilience should be your best acquaintances. 
Bravery 
Remember that being brave isn't being fearless; instead it's having fear but acting as if you don’t. Acts of bravery are commonly followed by a mountain of dread but a brave individual will do what they have to do in order to get done that which has to get executed. 

Calmness 
The dictionary has many good synonyms for calmness like self-control, coolness, equanimity and control. They have fortitude listed but I think that's more to do with strength and endurance than it does calmness. 
Resiliency 
It does not matter how positive, focused, motivated, brave, or calm you are, if you don't see your goal to the end then it might turn out to be purposeless. Being resilient is pressing through till you reach your goal.
