Pull up your courage socks
I have realised that a defeat is temporary and that it is giving up that makes it permanent.
Some people have a habit of giving up and as a result they never finish anything. They never get to know the real truth of what could have happened had they been more courageous and stayed the course.
A tough decision is tough not because you don’t know what to do, but because you know what to do – you just simply don’t have the courage to do it. Most people are stuck in situations they know are not good for them.
This is not because they don’t know what to do to get themselves out, they just lack the courage to do it. They have become ‘volunteer victims’ or someone who has become comfortable with their own discomfort.
Yes, you may be thinking that you are safe, but you are busy sabotaging your growth and happiness. Living a safe life is exactly what I call tip-toeing through life or going unnoticed until you die. People who make a difference in the world and leave a legacy are bold and courageous.
Even if they are often called crazy or out of their minds. Always know that safe is equal to small, so if you get small rewards in your life it’s because you are living a safe life.
What do you do when your favourite and most expensive outfit no longer fits you? You let go. So, let go of that mentality of keeping things and people that are no longer serving you.
