This Is When You Need Courage

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Courage is not about doing what you know really well. Courage is about going after what you do not know, with the little that you know.

When you are courageous, you are not afraid to do what you are put here on earth to do. You are not afraid to live for yourself, to develop yourself, to make mistakes, to fail, to fall like a baby.

Courage is about what you do not know. It is not about what you know. If you do not know something, no matter what that thing is, you need courage to face it.

But if you have already dealt with something in the past, you do not need a full load of courage to face it. Because you have done it before.

It does not make you an expert. Because you still have a lot of learning to do.

You are familiar with it. You now know how to do it.

That is why you should NEVER give up, especially when you are doing something for the first time.

Before you do, before you run away, before you give up, remember this: ‘Great things are hard at first.’

When Courage Is At War With Fear

Fear says, ‘you are not responsible for your life.’ Courage says, ‘you are responsible for your life. You are responsible for your mistakes. You are responsible for where you are.’

Fear says, ‘when you mess up, blame other people. Courage says, ‘no.’ Courage says, ‘when you mess up, you are responsible for your mess. If you want it to change, you have got to stop blaming other people.’

Fear says, ‘Don’t worry about growth. You are okay where you are.’ But courage says, ‘no.’ Courage says, ‘growth happens when you move, when you have the courage to face your future, to do what is scary, to take risks, to do what is uncomfortable, not when you are stuck in one place.’

Fear says, ‘where you are right now, your comfort zone, is good for your growth.’ Courage says, ‘comfort zone is just comfort zone. When you are comfortable, you are not learning. When you are comfortable, you are not moving; you are just there. You are not stretching yourself. You are not adding value to your life. You are not growing through life. Instead, you are just going through life’

Courage says, ‘Do not be afraid to try what is new, what you do not know. Do not be afraid to challenge yourself, to change your mind, to challenge your assumptions. Because that is how you are going to grow.’

The question is, ‘Do you want to experience a new life?’
