Courage – Take Action in Spite of Fear.

You may be reluctant to step outside your comfort zone when faced with something new. But you can only discover your true capabilities when you are willing to take risks and step into the unknown. Applying these ideas will help you get past your fears and take action.



What fears have kept you from going after something you really want? What first step can you take to get past those fears and build your confidence?
"If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been." - Robert Schuller, American clergyman

"Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us through them." - Brendan Francis Behan, Irish author

“Don't be afraid to take a big step when one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small steps.” - David Lloyd George, British statesman

"Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision." - Winston Churchill, British prime minister

  2. Thanks Meredith, I needed that... Been offered a new position that involves huge challenges and facing that inner voice of fear myself. But I would rather rise to the level of my challenges than sink to the level of my fears.
