20 Ideas For Choosing Courage
1. Its great to have courage, and courage
makes you great. Courage is a decision to transcend your fears. When you
speak and act in a situation that is challenging for you, that is courage.
Decide to transcend fears that needlessly limit you.
2. Courage is in your mind. Courage comes from the thoughts you think in
your mind. You choose your thoughts. Choose courage now.
3. Courage does not mean that you do not have fears. It means that you are
willing to speak and act even with fearful feelings. At times you might melt
those fears. Even if not, say what needs to be said and do what needs to be
done.
4. Ask your loving Father, and powerful King, Creator and Sustainer of the
universe to give you inner strength and courage. Receive it when He gives it
to you.
5. Every word and act of courage is stored in your brain. Your brain is
always with you. So you can always access courage.
6. If you have said or done something that took courage, you have been
courageous already. Identify yourself as a person who has courage.
7. This moment is the only moment that exists. To speak and act
courageously, you only need to speak and act courageously this moment in the
present.
8. Be aware of any inner self-talk that prevents your courage. Mentally
upgrade the recording you play in your mind. Listen to courageous self-
talk. Reread this list frequently. It becomes your self-talk.
9. When you need a boost of courage, say to yourself with enthusiasm and
intensity I have tremendous and intense courage right now. Repeat this with
more and more intensity until you actually experience it.
10. Fear and lack of courage is created with your imagination. Therefore
your imagination can create great courage. Imagine having all the courage
you would wish for.
11. Learn from every person who speaks and acts with courage. On the screen
of your mind see yourself talking and acting with that same courage. Repeat
until internalized.
12. Remember your most courageous moments. Take that courageous energy and
double it. Now double it again. Double it again. Keep on doubling this until
you feel yourself radiating courage.
13. If you find it difficult to say something to someone, ask yourself, Do I
have a right to say this? If yes, just say it!
14. Have the courage to bounce back from mistakes and adversity.
15. Have the courage to do what is right even if others make fun of you. The
more difficult it is, the greater you are.
16. Have the courage to tell people respectfully to refrain from speaking
negatively against others. Feel joy for doing so.
17. Visualize a tremendous crowd cheering for your courage. Hear the cheers.
See them waving for their hero: You.
18. Drink an imaginary drink that gives you magnificent courage.
19. Do not take needless foolish risks. Differentiate between intelligent
and wise risks and those that are stupid.
20. Each and every day do something courageous.
