How the Lack of Courage can Kill your Dreams


     Throughout the many pathways of life, we embark upon experiences that are sometimes challenging and sometimes not. The question is; how does one cross those barriers that seem so difficult to conquer? If you can't relate to barriers in life, then think about that one resistance that seems to paralyze you with fear and holds you hostage for no apparent reason. Barriers could be you trying to get into a school of your choice, you trying to leave a relationship that is unhealthy, a desire to leave an old job for a better job one, or anything else that creates fear unknowingly. The answer is, you must have Courage.
     Not only should you have courage, but you must practice courage with consistency. Courage is defined as "the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger,pain, etc." 
     When it comes to standing before barriers in life, make a practice of overcoming your barriers rather than taking the pathway of least resistance. In other words, without courage, it is hard to practice anything consistently!
     Onward, life is filled with different types of barriers that don't go away. One may ask; "Well how do I conquer them?" First, you must recognize the fear that seems to paralyze your emotions. Many people fail at trying to maintain courage because they allow their emotions to dictate their pathways in life. In other words, having a weak mindset about the situation at hand will cause one to have a lack of courage which ultimately leads to failure. So, make a good practice of these 3 things below:

(a)  Exercise your rights: This is done by believing that you have the ability to overcome that which is before you and without exercising your beliefs, your mind gets weaker. 

(b) Speak it into existence: Some people will never believe in conquering their goals because they never speak it. When you speak of having courage, this solidifies your attitude towards moving through the storm standing before you. Remember; once you have moved through your barriers don't look back.

(c) Be consistent: Once you start moving towards conquering whatever it is you set out to conquer, you must be consistent. Don't just say what you have a desire to do, better yet, move your words into action and stay consistent with it. Even if you are moving one yard a day in conquering your goals, the good thing is that you're moving. This shows consistency and consistency pays off!

     Finally, anyone that has a mind to think, has the mind to conquer. Remember, be courageous in all of your efforts when it comes down to conquering your goals. Don't allow others to confine you or contain you with fear. Liberate yourself beyond your wildest imagination and continue to stand upon your strengths and push aside your weakness.
