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 You Comfortable In Your Own Skin?

I say, ‘Be YOU!’ Don’t try to be anything else! You are here for you, not for others. You know what is good for you. You know what you want, what is going on in your life, where you are hurting, what is hurting you, and how you plan to live your life.

The only way you can find happiness in your life is to be you. The second way you can find happiness in your life is to remember to be you. Nothing more, nothing less.

But the world will try to tell you something else. Do not fall for it. Do not do what they want. Do what makes you come alive. Follow your heart. Listen to what God wants you to do. Do not do what people say you should do. Instead, do what God says you should do. Why? Because He is your creator. He knows you better than others.

Because God knows what you want in your life. God knows where you are going. He knows what is going on in your life. He is aware of your struggles. And He has a mesage for you: ‘Do not give up!’

The reason most people are not happy is that they never stop comparing themselves to other people. Do not do what they are doing. Just because other people are doing it doesn’t make it right. It is wrong!

It is wrong because you do not know everything about them. They are presenting to you what they want you to see. What happens to the other side? The side they don’t want you to know: their flaws, mistakes, anger, jealousy, failures. What happens to them?

Before you go into depression, remember this: ‘No one is perfect. Everyone is hiding something.’

As always, you are more, not less!
