Courage is defined as the ability to do something that frightens us. We all can utilize the courage inside us but most times we don’t. On the way to realizing your dreams in life you will need to develop the muscle of courage through use, through faith, through persistence, through discipline and through plain old hard work. Escape the life of the old and move into the new. Live your dreams and not your past. Leave behind the mediocre and live out your greatness. Courage doesn’t grow by taking the safe and comfortable route, it grows by risking failure, rejection, criticism and risk standing out from the crowd.

 

Having the courage not to give up when it gets hard, pushing that extra bit, studying that little more, doing what your scared to do, making that call you need to make, seeing that person you need to see, having that chat you have been dreading and the courage to try that one more time. To climb the mountain of personal success you will be meet with obstacles that will require courage to overcome. The success you are after requires courage, first the courage to dream and believe it can be achieved and the courage to act in spite of circumstances standing between you and your goal. Be courageous or live a life of victimhood.

 

COURAGE TO BE YOURSELF

With the world bombarding you constantly with the lives and lifestyle of other people, it is becoming harder to have the courage to be yourself. Having the awareness first that you are unique, you are different, you are you, you don’t have to be like anyone else. Having the courage to live your life the way you want, fashioning the lifestyle you want to live takes courage. Not conforming, not listening to others and not being a carbon copy of social media and the likes takes courage. Be yourself authentically unique and realize the world needs more independent thinkers, doers and creators. The world needs courageous people to change the old into the new, the false into the truth, the ugly into the beautiful and leave a trail for those to walk a better path.

 

IF ONLY I HAD THE COURAGE TO…

Can you imagine how many people go through life only to find themselves at the end period of their lives looking back with regrets and asking themselves, “If only I had the courage to…” The courage to dream bigger, the courage to go back and do things differently, the courage to live a life true to myself, the courage to walk away, the courage to stand up, the courage to speak up, the courage to seek help, the courage to take action. Instead of waiting for your final years to look back and ask yourself the question” If only I had the courage to…” Ask yourself right now, “If I live a long life and look back on my life, what will I regret most not doing?” In other words, your biggest regrets in life will be not your failures, but the failure to even try. What do you have to lose when you choose courage over fear, action over inaction? Jim Rohn said it best “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”
