Courage!

FEAR LIMITS A LEADER.

A lot of people have greatness in them that’s been deposited in them from birth by our CREATOR but fail to realize their full potential and the full capacity of their greatness because of FEAR. The question is: What are we afraid of? What are we scared of? A great speaker (Les Brown) said it best, most people are afraid of two things in life, 1) the fear of failure – what if I fail in taking a risk, or what if I fail in starting a business? and 2) the fear of great success – what if I succeed and I attain massive success would I be able to manage the success?

The only thing we have to fear is FEAR itself – (President Franklin Roosevelt). So what if you fail? You only get better learning from your mistakes, you pick yourself up and take a look at what led to your failure so that you don’t make such mistakes again. Most successful people today have failed several times in their journey to becoming great as we so know them to be today. And if you become so successful, why allow fear to scare you of being able to manage your success? Remember! You know how you overcame obstacles and difficult situations on your way to success, so apply that same courage to manage your success and also hire the best of the best to work for you and to work on your areas of weakness.

So which one do you choose? Allow fear to stop you from trying at all? Or be courageous and tackle fear itself, learn as you go, grow and develop yourself, follow your passion and focus on your goals? It is very obvious I chose the latter I will be courageous, because the greatest regret in life is “never trying at all”

COURAGE is fear that has said it prayers – (Karl Barth) A courageous act often brings unexpected positive results and know that nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. You are your greatest asset or detriment, our limitations in life are self-imposed therefore work on yourself! 

It is possible that you can do anything and achieve any success in life, you need to work on yourself, surround yourself with winners, your goals are possible, don’t give up on your dream, don’t stop running towards your dream. Your life expands in proportion to your courage and show of courage by a leader inspires.

Life is hard, you will encounter some challenges and disappointments in reaching your goals, it’s not going to be easy sometimes but remember you have greatness in you, be courageous and don’t let fear steal your dream.

I leave you with three great quotes from one of my favorites motivational speakers of all time who wrote the “Strangest Secrets” (Earl Nightingale).

·           What’s ironic is that those who don’t have the courage to take risks and those who do, experience the same amount of fear in life. The only difference is that those who don’t take chances worry about trivia things.

·          Don’t major in minor things, your dedication to potential must remain stronger than your desire to appease others.

·           Courage open doors and remember success is connected with action so don’t quit until you win.
