A Quick Tip for When You Can’t Find the Courage Needed…
Here’s a quick tip I’ve had to use many times in life…
When I can’t find the courage to do the thing I know I need to do…
Instead of trying to muster the courage…
I often need to renew or grow my passion for the thing that needs doing…
It’s a bigger picture approach…
Dave Ramsey says that if you want to get out of debt that you have to “Get angry about it...”
That’s the same idea here…
Emotions often fuel courage…
Grow your passion…grow your courage…
As an example, if you need to address a difficult employee situation, but don’t have the courage…fall more in love with the vision of the organization and it’s effectiveness, and you’ll find courage to have the hard conversation…
You take risks to achieve those things for which you are most passionate…
Think of it this way…if your child was in danger, you’d find the courage to save him or her, regardless of the risks involved…
Fall more in love with what you hope to accomplish and you’ll find more courage…
Are you in a situation now that is requiring more courage? I’d love to hear your story…
