The Courage to Connect to What Matters
Monday, March 6th, 2017
Where does our courage come from? How is it that even when we are scared, we do things afraid?
In thinking about courage, I dug deep into the birthing of my own courageous experiences. I noticed that I had many courageous moments, and at times, and just as equally, moments when I held back from being brave. What I discovered was:
Not only am I inherently courageous – I tap into my courageous self in order to connect to everything that really matters.
Courage is the doorway that opens up to other rooms in my life. I need all these rooms to step fully into my life. Others rooms that open up once I tap into courage are:
Curiosity, Connection, Compassion, and Creativity.
Courage is needed to cultivate all of these qualities. These qualities are the antidote to fear, anger, impatience, and apathy. I noticed that when I am courageous, I’m often afraid in the exact same moment.
Who are you when you are feeling courageous and who are you becoming?
Keep doing it afraid!
