True Courage: Overcoming Fear... not it's absence

While I had to chuckle that this quote was ascribed to the Blue Power Ranger, it also spoke to a reality that we all experience in life - that of course being fear.  As a Believer, the raw fear of what life brings has been mitigated significantly because I know I'm saved, but one of the things that I've learned in recent years is that fear will always be a part of your life - regardless of where your life takes you. 

Before I struck out on my own several years ago, I was constantly impressed by the entrepreneurs that I crossed paths with over time as they always seemed fearless - what I have come to learn is that fear is a constant companion of those who are looking to make their own way in the world - it's just that the best of them manage that fear and then turn it into the drive and motivation that they need to succeed.  That said, this isn't just a quote that applies to entrepreneurs, it applies to everyone who is making their way in this thing we call life.  We all fear something,but what fear provides is actually an opportunity.  An opportunity to display courage, encourage others by our example and motivate those around you to be the best that they can be.  

As you start your day today, is there something that you fear?  Are you feeling the cold tendrils of doubt wrapping around your heart and threatening to squelch or crush your hopes and dreams?  Never forget that true courage is displayed in how we overcome our fear - not by it being absent.  

Make today the day you embrace your fears and move forward to making the life you know you can achieve!  Make it a great Thursday all! #OvercomingFearDaily #NoLetUp #startuplife #WhatevertItTakes #OnwardandUpward #FocusedonmyGoals #ThankfulIAmSaved #Gratefulforanotherday #Maketodaygreat #Thriving
