The Courage to Live Consciously

It is very important to take an action despite you have fears of failing

But how to do it if fear usually stops you?  It is all about your quality, your character trait, the value that people call courage. All people must develop their courage again and again, if  they want to realize their own true potential, to make their lives fulfilling, to make a contribution to our nice world. 

Courage is the same mental skill like other skills are, where you get better and better at it when you use it more and more. Do not think that it is just some kind of  hype or only an emotion; courage is a skill where you reason intellectually and  scienfically to reach a conclusive decision.

Courage does not mean in any way that you must take urgent or drastic action in most life situations. No, courage is a learned skill, which requires your practice and conditioning like lifting weights builds stronger your muscles. When you start a gym, you never try to lift the largest weight in the first day, you just start small and work your way up. The very same is with overcoming your fears.

People very often live out the expectations from their parents,  friends, colleagues or neighbours, in short expectations of society. People forget that they can make concious choices about how to live their own life.

Most people are full of  fears and fearing they deny more powerful life they could have. Live your life consciously - eliminate your FEARS. Exactly fears restricts us from going after what we really want. 

When people fear something, they simply resist it. 

Fear of failure... Fear of going broke... Fear of public speaking... Fear of physical discomfort... Fear of rejection... Fear of being alone... Fear of humiliation... Fear of being ostracized by family and friends... Fear of success...

 How many of such and similar fears are holding you back?

  Fear is what keeps your growth and evolution as a conscious human being STAGNANT.

Every human being's main concern is SECURITY. We all are taught from the young age to not take any unnecessary risk, not draw attention to ourselves in public. We are taught not to talk to strangers and keep our eyes out for very suspicious people, we are taught not to be too bold and brave. We should stay safe and do not take any risks.

And then growing we instead of setting our own goals and making plans how to achieve them, instead of going after them with gusto, we just play it safe: we keep working at the stable job, even though we do not like it, we remain in the unsatisfying relationship, even though we feel dead inside compared to the passion we once had... And so on...

 Who are we to think that we can break the system? Simply accept your lot in life, try to make the best of it. Go with the flow, be as all "normal" people are... And so, the only hope your is that the currents of life will pull you in a favorable direction...

Sure, there really exist some real dangers in life that you must avoid. But there’s a huge gulf between the recklessness and courage. I’m not encouraging you for the heroic courage required to risk your life for something. I am talking about the ability to face down those imaginary fears and reclaim the more powerful life that you could have. 

Imagine, how would you live if you had no fear at all? 

I believe, you still have common sense and your intelligence to safely navigate around any true dangers, but also your would be more willing to take risks. What if you speak up more often your ideas, thoughts, opinions, what if you talk more to strangers, ask for more sales, or dive headlong into  ambitious projects you have been dreaming about long time? Maybe you even learned to enjoy the things that you currently fear...

What kind of difference it could make for your life?

There always are logical reasons why you don’t do certain things, right? You think, it would be rude to introduce yourself to a strangers. You think, that if you have not anything to say, you should not attempt public speaking... Think about how would change your life if you could confidently and courageously without any fear to do things you always wanted, but stayed away. 

 The ones who success are ones who take risks in life. No one can simply sit back in his own secure little world and expect to get ahead. 

If you want to get ahead,  you should have the courage to meet strangers,draw attention to yourself for good cause and speak out in public. Doing this you can create new opportunities for your growth through new experiences, new ideas and new people. 

The courage to live courageously means the ability to face your imaginary fears and live more powerful life that you have possibly denied for yourself. 

 Too many people have limited beliefs about what they can or can not do. All these beliefs are just illusions they have created for themselves. Don’t believe in limited beliefs as there are no such beliefs.

Even courageous people sometimes still afraid, but difference is that they don’t let fear paralyze them. Courageous people attack the fear instead of letting fear attack their beliefs, and overcome limited beliefs.

All people would be on the same page if no one took any risk. We would stop evolve. We can’t get better if we don’t take risk. We stay the same, we move into self-conscious hole of security that doesn’t have room for opportunity to grow as personality.

If you want to live consciously  then recognize your fear, learn what your fear is about and how it affects you and your life, then consciously work to eliminate it.

No one says, it is an easy process, but it is certainly possible to do. If it was easy task, there would not be any fear at all, and we would be all successful. But that is not the case, because as a society we value our security over risk way too much.  

As an individual, you sure have the choice to take risk, because it is your life and you can do whatever you want with it. Do not let any limited beliefs or anyone to hold you back. Do not let any limiting beliefs to hold you back. Once you let go all you fears and worries, you also create channels of opportunity to grow as a conscious human being. 

 To live consciously means to live spiritually making an effort to align your personality with your higher self , with your soul. Living consciously you are at peace with yourself and the world. Your life is happy and fulfilling and yourself you are abundant in any meaning: spiritually and mentally, physically and financially. You don’t need wealth to live consciously,  but when you live consciously wealth comes to you.

 

  Fear makes us weak and powerless. Living consciously you find purpose and meaning in every situation that you face, you appreciate and love life in its every form, your life becomes rich and meaningful. You become enthusiastic, purposeful and fearless about your life, you use strong will to go after your goals.   

 Where this new and developing courage could bring you to? I believe, it will lead you to more meaningful, fulfilling and fun life. You will develop your greatest strengths, talents and gifts. You will live more consciously than ever before. Instead of reacting to events, you will actively create your own productive, positive and fun future.

You have two choices – either live life with courage and consciousness to face your fears and live in potential and power, or give up and run away. But be aware of the consequences of both choices. If your choice is to give up and let your fear to win - when life simply becomes stagnant.
 
If your choice is to live life consciously - yes, you may make mistakes, you may meet really weird people, you may get rejected, you may get broke, but that is a part of the package of the courage-filled life. Feel the fear, but call the courage to live, take action and follow your life’s ambition.

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
