Courage.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.- Ambrose Redmoon

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.- Anais Nin

Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace.- Amelia Earhart

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do.- Eleanor Roosevelt

I've been reading about courage lately. How it relates to the Law of Attraction and how it can improve my life. I have a new perspective of courage now. It's not just for firefighters and soldiers and people with deadly diseases. Courage, or the lack of it deeply effects day to day life. It dulls our conciousness, it festers and it prevents us from living our true life, being our true self. I believe that this informtion is what I need to make some serious changes in my life. And as the law of attraction says - the univerise is currently providing me with all sorts of new ideas and information about courage - even the newest Oprah magazine, that I bought on a whim has a thought provoking, inspiring section about courage!

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.- Orison Swett Marden

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.- John Quincy Adams

There is an exercise in Oprah's magazine that says to summon your courage and confront that inner voice of fear. Write down the things you know are absolutely true in your life. Once you have done that, write down what life would look like if you lived as though those things were 100% true.

I plan to work on this exercise this weekend. I wonder where it will lead...

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.- Dale Carnegie
