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.’

Why You Should Get Started Now

Getting started is better than waiting for the perfect time to start.

In fact, the best time to start anything is now. Where you are now does not really matter. What you know does not matter. Other things don’t matter. What matters is that you get started.

According to Tiffany Pham, ‘It doesn’t matter how you start, where you start, or why you start. All that matters is that you start. When you dare to try something new, it can be the foot in the door that leads to everything you’ve ever wanted.’

Just get to work. Do not wait for the perfect time to start living your life. Do not waste your time on what you do not enjoy doing. ‘Look for work you believe in.’ Because when you do get started, when you commit to what you want to achieve in your life, ‘success eventually surrenders to you.’

That is why you should not wait for the perfect time to start doing your work. Yes, your work. If you want to be different, to achieve greatness, you must do your work. You must ‘keep the fires of passion burning….’ If not, you are not going to get anything done.
