What’s that noise? As I walked through the forest, the sun was setting quickly. The crinkling sounds of my footsteps began to fade as I hurried back to my campsite. Instead, my mind became more alert to every sound other than my footsteps. The darkening forest began to envelop me. A low growling sound came from a bush to my right that was about fifteen feet away. I never thought this could happen.
Hey, did you feel that sense of fear as you read the paragraph above?
It's ok to be afraid. You and I are wired to be alert to danger. We are descendants of people who survived lions on the savannah, storms, famines, and misfortunes since ancient times.
We are also descendants of people who used their faculty of courage to survive!
It’s all about courage.
If you think about it, the difference between those who take a risk in life and those who play it safe determines a large portion of personal success.
You have to have the courage to love someone and get hurt.
You have to have the courage to set out on a BIG goal and risk failing.
You even need the courage to build more courage.
The challenge is to be courageous when your instincts want to push you to safety.
How to overcome this instinct is crucial. Now you may be wondering how to do it, and here is my five-point plan:
Action Plan:
Define Your Purpose for being courageous and define your purpose in life.
Recall past success, find your defining past success, and relive it mentally in vivid detail.
Assess the risk you need to take and the potential reward.
Count on some luck, aka blessings, because fortune favours the bold.
Act; Act Courageously Today!
Be brave when others are fearful, and you will inherit what rightfully belongs to you.
Fortune favours the bold and courageous.
Courage breeds results!
