Why Courage is the Foundation to a Better Life

Once you establish courage, you begin to better your life.

Constructing courage will help you take risks to a brighter future that you usually wouldn’t take. When you establish courage, you put fear behind you.

Bravery is the process of admitting that you have dreads, yet you’re willing to determine a way to defeat those fears and not let these fears take charge of you. It’s ok to experience your fears at suitable times.

When you establish courage, you’ll learn to self-direct you in life.

You’ll learn to accept punishment and rewards graciously.

A courageous individual will frequently feel motivated to accept blame and responsibility while critiquing their actions and utilizing what they learn to move forward.

Brave individuals will step to the front, instead of stepping back when opportunities come their way.

At the same time, a brave individual will step back and take a view at his or her errors gracefully. They are willing to see their mistakes and grow from these things.

An individual willing to better their life will relax.

This individual will relax even when plans fail. For example, if it stormed the next day the individual will find something else to occupy his or her time and feel just as happy about joining this adventure.

You learn to take things as they come to you. And don’t get me wrong, it’s great to plan for things.

But, to be courageous means to walk into the unknown and believing you will make it through. And you know how unpredictable life can be no matter how much you plan for it.

Courage teaches you to be ok with the what-ifs in life and allows you to relax and enjoy your life more.

To be successful and better your life you’ll need to learn how to trust you.

When you trust you, you are able to trust others also. Regrettably, we live in a world where trust is difficult to find, yet when you trust you, you can’t blame other people when things go wrong.

It’s not easy believing in yourself 100% of the time. Life gets really freaking hard sometimes and it shakes you up.

Things happen to you that make you question yourself and the people around you, and it’s so easy for trust to be broken.

But, I believe that in order to really love yourself and feel confident in your own skin you have to build up that trust from within. Do things that push you out of your comfort zone and make it a positive experience.

Write down mini-wins in your notebook about how you made it through a tough day, or about a moment in your life when you weren’t sure of yourself but did it anyways.

Take note of these things and encourage yourself to grow, because this is how you build courage and how you build trust.
