The fearless are merely fearless. People who act in spite of their fear are truly BRAVE. – James A. LaFond-Lewis
Are you brave? I don’t mean the rushing into the burning building type of brave. I mean the everyday brave ~ acting in spite of your fear bravery. The courage it takes to follow your dreams and to take baby steps on the path of the unknown. Do you have the ability to stretch out of your comfort zone in order to reach for something that you want? Can you find that Inner Hotshot who wants more in life?

When I’m afraid I always ask what it is I believe that makes me scared. Then I ask myself what would I do if I didn’t believe that thought. Bit complicated, I know!
Complicated maybe, but do-able, YES! Thanks for the great advice! ♥
I guess connecting with my heart..
and the magic and mystery within..and how that leads to magical connections..like here :
🙂
I love the energy that comes thru in your posts. So encouraging. ♡L
Oh Laurie, you make my heart sing with appreciation! I find you to be so inspiring and encouraging as well! I’m so grateful we connected! ♥

I always say it’s a fine line between brave and stupid, and I’m never sure which side I’m on. I do know that I never regret doing something as much as I regret missing an opportunity to do something.
Jill ~ that same thing goes for me as well! It’s hard sometimes though to get my courage up to just go for it! 🙂
Practicing self-love….feeling comfortable and confident in my own skin makes me feel fearless!
Woo Hoo! I love to hear that you are fearless! Shine On! xo

I try, when I stand at the cross-roads, to ask myself, “what is the worst that could happen, and I’m prepared to pay that cost?” Over the years, those answers have certainly changed. There are things I did in my 20s, that I wouldn’t be brave enough to do now (e.g., screaming at my boss, “Go ahead, make my day; lay me off; pay me to find a job working for someone other than you!”). Conversely, there are things I was afraid to do in my 20s, I’d like to believe I’m braver about now.
That’s how I feel as well ML! ♥
my secret to my bravery is that I have to be here for my kids and my husband and my siblings and to a lesser degree, my friends
I HEARTily agree ~ they are my motivation as well! ♥
I use prayer a lot when I am feeling fearful. And I remember that I have a young son and I want to be there for him, so I press on and persevere for him.
I do the same ~ funny how we all have different ways to be brave and yet many are the same! Thanks for sharing!♥
I try to put it in the context that even if it doesn’t work out as planned I have learned a valuable lesson. We often learn more from our wrong turns than our right turns. Also, making the choice to move forward may lead to new and unforeseen benefits. Bravery, many times, is little more than the courage to take the first step, the willingness to fall down and get back up. Each of has within us the ability to move forward and succeed. The path of fear can lead to an uninspired (yet safe) life, the path of courage may get bumpy along the way, but remember to take one step at a time in a positive direction (and if you get lost, you can always turn around). Now put on a comfortable pair of shoes and set out on the path that you envision (and if you are not there yet, put on those shoes and open the door to peek at the wonder outside the door that awaits)
Joel, you are so eloquent! Thank you for your amazing comment! Beautifully said ~ hear hear! ♥ I’m taking baby steps! ♥
