“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” Mark Twain
We will face all kinds of obstacles and problems as we navigate through our lives. We might face a time when what lies before us is daunting, intimidating, or even terrifying, and we may be unsure we can move forward. Fear is a natural response when we don’t know what will happen or the situation is out of our control and yet has power over us. It is not a weakness but a tool to help us understand our situation clearly. It warns us and alerts us to possible dangers ahead, and we can use it to courageously find the way forward. Nobody will get through their lives without experiencing fear from time to time. It’s normal and natural and we can take control when it comes. Stepping back from the situation and seeing it objectively will help us understand where we are and discern our options moving forward. Courage is always there deep within us and we can access it, use it, and embrace it to help us walk through anything that comes. No matter how frightening the situation, there is an answer. There is a resolution to every problem we face. We can take a breath, look at where we are and assess the best way forward. Taking time to think will enable us to employ the courage deep within us and help us find our way. There isn’t anything we can’t do and no problem too intense for us resolve. We are braver than we think we are and have everything we need to overcome anything. We can use fear to teach us and guide us, and then do what is needed to take the next step.
If we try to keep our lives small and limit our exposure to others things may be more predictable but that will not keep us from facing difficult times. There will always be other people coming in and out of our lives, influencing what happens by their decisions. We can only control what we do and it’s impossible to totally eliminate the influence of others in our lives. When that influence brings uncertainty and fear, we can still step forward and do what is best for us. We are always in control and nothing will keep us in place.
If we suffer from panic and worry we may believe we cannot overcome very difficult situations. What we think will impact how we act. We can be confident enough to understand that no matter what comes to us we have everything we need to find our way through. There really is no situation too difficult or complex for us to unravel and overcome. We have enough wisdom and courage to do anything. Nothing is too strong or difficult for us to figure out. We can be courageous and find the success we seek
Today if you’re in a situation that is intimidating and difficult and you aren’t sure you can manage it, call on the courage deep within you. You already possess everything you need to succeed and there is nothing too complex for you to overcome. Be confident. You are wise and strong. Go forward with certainty that you will win. Success is there for you and you will reach it.
