Where Does Courage Come From?

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!

Are They Really Thinking About You?

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you?’- Lia Garvin

No, they are not. They are not thinking about you. They are not after you. They are not after what you are doing. They are not after where you are. They are not after your failures, your mistakes. They are not.

Get over it. Do not dominate your life with other people’s opinions of you. Do not focus on what people are saying about you. It is not going to help you. It is going to hold you back from actually taking care of your life.

Do not waste your energy. It takes a lot of energy to think about what others are thinking about you. What if they are not thinking about you? What if they are just doing their own things? What if….?

Live your life. Focus on what is on your plate. Focus on what you are doing. Do not focus on what is not even happening. If you think other people are thinking about you, you are the one.
