E-Books →Beyond Courage The Real Happiness Best Guide for How to Change Your Life, Free Yourself and Achieve Your Goal

About This Book:
This is one reason why courage and happiness are so closely connected. Without courage, we often forego our dreams for what we perceive as a safer, more secure path. But it's not really a safe choice if it means foregoing our dreams, is it? When we decide to stick with the "same old same old", we decide to miss out on what life may hold in store in exchange for a false sense of comfort in the here and now.
We ignore what may be a calling, simply because we are scared, and don't have the faith to take the leap. But this is a risky choice, too. Because who knows where the here and now will take us down the road, right? Perhaps staying put is actually the thing that should frighten us more.
Courage Is Important In Our Daily Lives
The truth is, life seems to require courage from us at almost every turn.
Sometimes minor decisions turn out to be life altering. They don't really require us to be brave, because we usually don't have a sense of the magnitude of the potential consequences. Imagine how paralyzed we might become if we did. Lucky for us, we don't think about these mundane choices much, or doubt our instincts to pursue one path or another.
But the decisions we self-describe as "major": oh, how we do tend to fuss over them. Agonize. Worry. Wonder. Dancing around the real issue, which is that the truest obstacle between us and our dreams is one thing: Fear.
Because pursuing our dreams is all about finding the courage that allows us to pursue a new course of action, despite the uneasiness we feel as we leave our comfort zone.
Courage Is Essential If We Are To Achieve Our Dreams
There is a saying: "When we leap, the net appears." Of course, that's not always the case. I mean, if that were the case we would all be leaping and taking risks all the time, confident in our future success, right? But how do we know - if we don't take the chance?
It is difficult to know which risks we've taken have been worth it, in the long run. After all, we never know where the other path - the path we did not choose - would have led.
