Courage requires that you make yourself do what you should do, that you deal with your fears rather than avoiding them.
a) The biggest obstacle to success in life is fear of failure, expressed in the feeling that, “I can’t! I can’t! I can’t!”
b) Courage is a habit, developed by practising courage whenever it is required. As Emerson said, “Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”
c) Make a habit of confronting your fears rather than avoiding them. When you confront the fear and move toward it, especially if it is another person or people or situation, the fear gets smaller and you become braver.
d) Repeat the words to cancel fear, “I can do it!” over and over, to build up your courage and confidence.
e) Identify one fear in your life and then discipline yourself to deal with it, to confront it, to do whatever it involves, as quickly as you possibly can. The payoff for identifying a fear and confronting it is tremendous, it gives you the courage and confidence to go through your life and deal with every fear-inducing situation.
The discipline of courage is really needed if we are to succeed in our lives and careers.
Do share with us any experiences you have with courage when it came to taking a major decision in your life.
