Let’s start by giving meaning to this day. Let’s talk about courage…
It’s natural to fear the unknown. For thousands of years, a healthy fear of the unknown has kept people alert enough to survive. Yet the fear must not keep us from progressing and moving forward. We must have the courage to live and grow and make a difference.
We all know that courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to act in the face of fear; in the face of uncertainty and in the face of doubt.
Fear helps us by making us alert to the hazards and dangers. And with courage we use that heightened state of energy and awareness to meet our greatest challenges.
There is risk in everything we do. BUT, more often than not, there is greater risk in doing nothing. Fear rightfully keeps us from acting foolishly on some occasions. Other times, we must feel the fear, and do it anyway. We must have the courage and the confidence to turn a risk into an opportunity.
Your greatest achievements are waiting, just on the other side of your greatest fears.
Until next time, be black belt strong and live life courageously!
