I always talk about integrity and how important it is. Another trait that is on my list is courage. We are ALL afraid. Fear does not discriminate. It is one of our inner enemies that wants to keep us small and safe. Every step and every achievement we have experienced so far involved some kind of risk. We felt fear, but we took action anyway. Courage is just that: Acknowledging the fear, but doingit anyway. There are small, every day steps we take that take courage. You might not have realized it, but listen to me: If you walked away from a toxic relationship and never looked back, even though you might have to go it alone, that took courage! If you ever stood up before an audience and made a speech, even though your hands were shaking and your palms were sweaty. . that took courage! If you ever drove your car in a big city even though it was overwhelming…that took courage. If you ever walked into a gym after years of inactivity…that took courage. If you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and decided that you will not hate yourself anymore…that took courage. Fear will always be there. It’s up to us to realize that it can’t control us. You are stronger than you think you are. Go ahead and face whatever fear it holding you back today.
