Where does courage really come from? How courageous are you? What gives you courage?

Is it self-love? What is it?

Whether you can remember what gives you courage or not, we all need it. Because without courage, we are not going to be able to achieve success.

We won’t be able to go through difficult times. We won’t be able to face tough times. We won’t be able to ask for what we want. We won’t be able to live the way we want to live our lives. We won’t be able to express ourselves. We won’t be able to face other people.

So where does courage come from? What is it about?

Courage is not just about facing the demon in front of you. Courage does not come from playing it safe. Courage does not come from hiding who we are. It does not come from trying to be like other people.

Courage does not come from pretending to be who you are not. It doesn’t come from pleasing other people.

Courage, the real one, comes from within. It comes from doing what you are put here on Earth to do. It comes from challenging yourself, from expressing yourself, from being vulnerable.

Courage comes from doing, not from talking.

Courage comes from being real with yourself, from loving yourself, from loving others. Courage comes from living for you, from thinking your thoughts.

Courage comes from forgiving people who have done things to you. It is about being real when others are just acting. It is about saying to yourself, ‘I am enough for me.’ The question is, ‘How courageous are you?’

As always, You are more, not less!

This Is Your Inner Strength

Respect your uniqueness. Always celebrate who you are. You are in charge of your life. Don’t give in to what people are saying about you. Whether people like you or not, that is okay. If they don’t like who you are, how you do your things, how you treat yourself, that is not your problem. What they are saying about you has nothing to do with you. But it has everything to do with them.

When you are doing your things, when you are living your life, do not expect some people to like you. What they want you to do is forget who you are, to go along, to follow them to wherever they are going.

Do not do that! Because you are here to make a difference, to touch other people’s lives. You are not here to make people happy, to please everybody.

If you do not have the courage to celebrate your uniqueness, you are not helping yourself. You are helping other people get better, not you.

The only way to find your true self, to celebrate who you are is to respect your uniqueness. Your specialness.

According to Joyce Meyer, ‘The things in your life that make you different aren’t hinderances … they are assets.’

Do not try to change how you look. Because God doesn’t care about how you look. God cares about your heart.

If you do not have a healthy heart, your possessions don’t matter. The best way forward, according to Brianna Wiest, ‘You owe it to yourself to determine the kind of person you want to be and how that person will allow themselves to be treated.’

Before you go, as always, let me ask you these questions. ‘What do you think about yourself? How do you feel about who you are? Do you ever compare yourself with other people and feel belittled if you can’t do what they can do or be like them?’ Don’t!!!!

Be you. Remember, You are more, not less!
