Have you asked someone what they desire to be more like and they reply “to be courageous”?  It takes courage to admit we desire more courage.

Many of our current wishes are waiting for us to become courageous enough to take the first step.  It takes courage to move forward despite voices in our head saying, “it is too hard”, “you need more time”, “don’t be foolish”, or ” don’t open yourself up”.  Courage is moving through standing waves of limited beliefs and being ok with feeling the fear of disapproval and the intensity of the insecurity and unknown.

What is on your wish list?  What is in your heart to be expressed? What is holding you up?  Muster some courage to take a small step ….

Courageous

Courageous are not those

who say the right words

not acknowledging or feeling

 the words in their heart.

Courageous are not those

who ignore their heart’s desire

to be accepted by others.

Courageous are not those

who dim their inner light

to shine less to please others.

Courageous

 are those who touch their feelings.

Courageous

 are those who feel their feelings

 despite the intensity.

Courageous

 are those who allow tears to roll down their face.

Courageous

 are those who are committed to their own highest good.
