COURAGE is not absence of fear.It is the ability to overcome fear.
Courage does not come over night. It is a quality that is acquired over an extended period of time through practice – courage to know your fears and confront them, the courage to believe in a positive outcome amidst uncertainty, the courage to channelize our mind to overcome our doubts, the courage to proceed with appropriate plan of action.
So, what does courage really mean in the context of your career or in your business? COURAGE is the ability to seize opportunity and take bold action in the face of fear, uncertainty, doubt, difficulty, and/or danger. COURAGE is dealing with the unknown with conviction and confidence.
Just like running a marathon – no one just wakes up and runs 20 miles – you run a 5k, then a 10k, then a 10-miler, then a half-marathon and then the coveted marathon – you build your conditioning just like your courage over an extended period of time.
Or maybe sometimes you just need to commit based on the strength you have built up in the present moment, with the hope that you will build up to achieve your end goal. To achieve your purpose. To achieve your targets.
COURAGE can be developed, and like a marathon can be conquered.
After all, it is simply the decision to take a bold action, even though it may be frightening. To truly have the career and life you deserve, you must challenge yourself, step out of your comfort zone, push beyond, face doubt, overcome fear and have the COURAGE to FAIL. Have faith in yourself and your abilities to overcome fear, uncertainty, and doubt and to conquer what you truly believe in.
