Move Forward

"fear is in the head,

courage in the heart."

Louise Penny

Many of us are fear based, even though fear is not factual.  Fear is not reality, and yet it can be dominate and a dictator of our actions.  If we deliberately bring our attention to our heart, we will discover courage.  Courage to carry on, in spite of fear.  When we allow courage to be our focus, we can over ride our fear and move forward.

Courage can be strengthened through positive affirmations.  We can jot a few positive sayings down to carry with us as a reminder of our personal strength.  It is helpful to wear a piece of jewelry not usually worn as a physical reminder to meaningfully repeat our words of support.  

When we avoid sinking back into the past and restrain from looking too far in the future, it is somewhat easier to live in each day within each moment.  Our courage grows as we successfully step through elements of our day with courage radiating from our hearts.  Eventually, fear evaporates.  

When we use our imagination to create a wish list, we remain aware and watch opportunities as they present themselves.   As confidence grows, we will take our dreams a little more seriously, expanding them as we move forward.

Feeding our courage instead of our fear, can alter our life experience at any stage of the game.  We may not be presented with our exact dream, but sometimes it is better than what we imagined!
