Courage is dynamic action.<\/strong> Courage is putting yourself in a position that isn’t comfortable, is outside your comfort zone. Courage is a growth-orientated energy.<\/p>\n

Courage comes from the heart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You naturally radiate heart energy – love, encouragement, support, guidance, growth. All of that is intended to radiate outward from you. But when you discourage yourself or someone else, you’re limiting that energy. You are squeezing down on the amount of love that travels outwards from your heart.<\/p>\n

If you say to yourself, “I’m a beautiful, accomplished, well educated person” and your heart says, “Yeah right,” who’s going to win? Your heart will win, because that energy, that thought is driven by emotion which comes from your subconscious.<\/p>\n

That thought is driven by a part of you that says, “That’s not true for me.” You want it to be true. You think in your mind that it is true. But unless your subconscious aligns with the way you and others talk to you, believing or manifesting that thought will be difficult.<\/p>\n

Take baby steps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The person you are has been created by yourself and other people. Many of your ideas about yourself are based on how others have acted towards you, or what\u00a0they have said about you. Many of these ideas are hiding in your subconscious, waiting for triggers to take them to the surface.<\/p>\n

Using affirmations, talking to yourself in a loving manner can be tough. It’s not easy when you haven’t done it for years or heard others say loving things to you. But change starts with baby steps towards transforming how you think about yourself.<\/p>\n

Courage is emotion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courage is emotion. When you pray, it’s not the words or the ritual that creates change. It’s the emotion. The energy that moves from deep within your consciousness. That energy lets you connect with God and manifest what you have your heart set on.<\/p>\n

When you put your heart into anything, you become very dynamic. You fill yourself with solid energy that moves you past where you think you’re capable of going. This is how you know down your walls. This is how you transcend your limits.<\/p>\n

Stretch past your comfort zone!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Courage enables you to put yourself in a situation that’s uncomfortable because its not inside your comfort zone. By stretching past your comfort zone, and by being passionate while you’re there, your life becomes bigger. Your life expands. So if you stand up to your boss, or to some authority, and say, “This is wrong. I’m choosing to do this,” your courage puts you into that spot.<\/p>\n

Once you stretch yourself out of your comfort zone, your comfort edges won’t be the same anymore. Even if you zoom right back to where you feel comfortable and familiar with life, your space is no longer limited the way it was originally. Like a stretched sweater, you have new room to be courageous, to stand up for your beliefs, to speak your truth.\u00a0Dare to be remarkable!<\/strong><\/p>\n
