Calling Yourself A Courageous Person Does Not Make You One. Here is Why

Courage is life. It is the way. If you want to experience a new life, a different life, courage is the way. You have got to think courageous thoughts. You have got to live like a courageous person. And you have got to embrace courage.

The question is, ‘Are you a courageous person?’ Because a courageous person is a person who is not afraid to say ‘yes’ to life, who is not afraid to stand up for something bigger, who is not afraid to stand up for others, even when it is not comfortable.

But calling yourself a courageous person does not make you one. Why is that? Because courage does not talk. Courage acts. Courage does not believe in words. Courage believes in actions.

You are a courageous person when you know what is going on around you, when you are not afraid to say, ‘enough is enough.’

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to leave your blood-sucking job, when you have the courage to leave your life-taking relationship.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to ask for what you want, to take care of yourself, to believe in your life.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to follow your heart, even when other people are not comfortable with your decision.

You are a courageous person when you have the courage to think for yourself, to be an independent thinker.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to question what you do not understand?’

Planning For Success: Strategies To Overcome Distractions

You are not playing with your life. You are not joking with your future. You are not wasting your time. You are planning. You are doing. You are getting better.

Just because you are not where you want to be doesn’t mean you are wasting your time.

No, you are not. Do not pay attention to what people are saying. If you are serious about your journey, then pay attention to what you are doing. Do not get distracted.

Choose your path. Pay attention to it. According to Tiffany Pham, ‘Know what you want. Know where you want to end up. But do not get stuck thinking that the path to get there is set in stone.’

She is right. If you know what you want, you can make it happen. If you know where you are going, you will never give in to fear.

Just believe in what you are doing. No matter what is going on in your life, know that the path to where you are going is not set in stone.

If you want it, you can have it. The question is, ‘Do you really know what you are after?’
