COURAGE

I attended a seminar yesterday that focused on courage..doing things you may not feel comfortable with, in order to get where you want to go.  The presenter was Margie Worrell.

Margie encourages us to 1. identify where were wanted to go or what we wanted to achieve   2. take the first step out of our comfort zone and 3. see where the ride takes us.

This covers all aspects of your life ...love.. career... education etc.

Below are Margies  10 Commandments of Courage.

FIRSTLY - DREAM BIG. Trust Yourself    

No matter what happens, you can handle it.  You are capable of more than you

think you are. Really!

II. Question Assumptions   

Don’t hang on to beliefs that no longer serve you. The only limits you have are

those you’ve convinced yourself of.  Assumptions are the death of possibilities.

III. Do What’s Right 

Be true to yourself above everything else…however inconvenient or difficult.

Integrity is the only path upon which you’ll never get lost.  

IV. Stop Complaining   

You can’t solve your problems by whining about them. Focus your energy on what

you want, not on what you don’t; on what you can do, no on what you can’t. 

V. Think Bigger 

Refuse to settle for mediocrity.  Set your sights high and know that if you can

dream it, you can do it. All great accomplishments first begin in the imagination.

VI. Resist Conformity   

Don’t let others’ opinions run your life and surrender to conformity. Express your

individuality. Be your own person. Forge your own path. 

VII. Speak Up 

You get what you tolerate. If there’s something you really want to say, chances are

someone really needs to hear it. Be courageous in your conversations.  

VIII. Don’t Quit  

Success demands perseverance.  Adversity builds resilience. Setbacks are 

opportunities to show the universe what you’re made of.  Press on.

IX. Say No   

Say no to the good to make room for the great.  Refuse to succumb to people

pleasing at the expense of your own sanity and fulfillment.

X. Take Action  

Life rewards those who take action in the presence of their fear and refuse to give in

to self doubt . Nothing great has ever been achieved without an element of risk. So

feel your fear and do it anyway! Fortune favors the bold. 

I have a dream ........... what's your dream?
