Courageous

What happens to us from birth until now that rocks confidence. My dad left the family home when I was around 6 years old. From there things went left for various reasons.

The relationship I thought I had with a dad I adored was no longer there. It was up and down for years after that.

Fast forward and I have come to realise losing our confidence makes us lose courage.

The mistake I made was putting my confidence in a person, yes it was my parent but never the less making them responsible for my future happiness is dangerous.

Making anyone responsible for my happiness is dangerous.

I see so many people who we’re once courageous and going for things, lose themselves when they allow others to live rent free in their heads.

Get therapy, a coach, talk to a friend or someone you trust. Anything to break free from the negative aspects of people who have dimmed some of our stars.

When our light from one of stars are dimmed we lose the light guiding our path.

What Courage is NOT-

•Having it perfect before progress

•Being free from fear

•Needing others to hold your hand

•Needing everyone on board

•Guarantee of success

What courage is-

•Doing it afraid

•Doing it alone

•Do not need permission from others

•Doing it with a small bit of confidence (it will grow the more you step out)

•Knowing nothings perfect

•Mistakes are life lessons

There is no perfect condition and a person can only have an effect on your confidence if they’re given permission too. It may sound easy but it’s not and it takes work.

Deciding to not let another person or situation have anymore of you’re confidence is deciding to live again.

If we’re constantly living in the past we’re not living for today. Decide to live again.

When we live for today we find confidence, then courage to tackle the things we wish to carry out. We are able to focus on the now and things that need to be done.

Looking to the future we want to see.

Be courageous even in the small things.

Meet new people, love again, start a business, meet up with friends, accept your kids going off to college or uni, travel somewhere new, pick up a new hobby, sell up and move aboard, change career, go dancing.

So much things that require courage that might seem small to some but actually is big to you.

Walk into courage……

Courageousness lives here.
