At times it takes courage to be true to yourself, to live your best life and pursue happiness. How do you overcome the fears that cripple you and prevent you from having the things that seem to matter the most.... Pursuing your dreams, finding and embracing love into your life? How can you risk yourself again after a broken heart and trust in love again without courage? How do you start a new business from dreams without courage? How do you take the hopes and dreams and act on them? What happens internally inside your spirit to cause you to move beyond the fear and pain to action? To live and not simply exist......You have to take action at some point. For some it may be a bold, big step, a grand gesture, for most probably it is a series of small steps - a gradual process. And sadly, some people never take any action at all.
Frequently some of the steps the brave take will not lead to the desired goal and it will be necessary to turn in another direction but at least this is progress. If at first you don't succeed, at least you are trying. For only by trying can you ever hope to get anywhere, you have to be in the race to win it. And it is human nature to want to win, to get to where you ultimately want to be. That scared place in your dreams, your heart, your spirit. I believe it is not really fear of failure that hinders us but more often fear of success. Can you really handle the object of your goals, do you feel like you are worthy of them? So it may come down to a fear of beginning, because if you don't begin you won't have to deal with the result. It is so much easier to just imagine what it could be like or even to assume the worse. To make excuses, to hide behind your fear, fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of being hurt or disappointed.
So the real courage that may be required is not about achieving your goals but in starting to act on simply moving toward them. How much you want them plays a big part in your ability to move toward them, but more than anything else I think it is about faith, most of all faith in yourself.
Life is for living, not worrying or imagining what might be. Forgive yourself for your past mistakes, love and respect yourself, know you deserve it and take that first step. Then it becomes a matter of one foot in front of the other, allowing your dreams to come to you, embrace them and be grateful. Just do it!

looks like you hos need to pool your money for some serious plastic surgery! Looks more like divine dixie dipshits to me!
ReplyDeleteHow fitting that you made your post on this topic of courage..........My experience is that negative remarks such as yours come from fear and lack of self confidence. And the reference you made to plastic surgery, that takes courage..........Thanks for posting and bless your heart! Perhaps you should also read the blog entry on respect....... perhaps you would not be so bitter and resentful of others and have more self confidence if you had some self respect.
