On Courage

8 Comments

Every life in this world

Is born with courage to thrive

And the courage to survive

It is a matter of recognising

And awakening to your courage

Courage has many facets

In you exists so many kinds of courage…

And each of us have different degrees of it.

There is courage is a dare that speaks to your truth

A dare that makes you confront

With the truth of you.

When was the last time you sensed courage?

Or lack of it in a certain situation? .

Courage that dares through physical challenges.

Enduring discomfort hurt

Or pain and even possible danger.

Then comes the emotional courage

To be able to confront

Your deepest fears and doubts

Having the ability to seek help

Express your inner feelings

Takes a great deal of courage too.

Not everyone can share their truths easily.

Have you ever been tongue tied and socially awkward?

Perhaps you need to work on being socially courageous.

Speaking with self confidence means assertive communication.

Connecting with people from all walks of life with ease.

Work on your voice and poise which helps in speaking publicly.

Have you sensed the need to learn more?

To educate yourself every now and then?

It is about being courageous to develop your intellectual strengths.

An ability to say’ I don’t know’ or admit’ I was wrong. ‘

Breaking the ego build up and allowing space to understand more

This also require the development of humility in great measures.

Somewhere deeply inter linked with morality and conscience.

In the ability to admit to mistakes to stand up for values and fight for rights

Upholding the principles with conviction & braving opposition.

Not many people find it easy to fight the odds. They give in.

To understand beyond the self calls for another type of courage

The empathically courageous will go beyond biases to get into the others persons perspective.

Empathy is a courage to sense the trials and tribulations of others.

Along with this is another kind of profound courage

An exploration of your own Spiritual truths.

This calls for conscious connections, remembering to honour your life, in and around you in every form.

Courage is an inner reserve

That actions from all of you

Your nature and nurture

Is unique so is your courage

And the way you are…

Explore what facets of courage has naturally become your strength in time.

And what facets do you need to build and develop in yourself.

Now when you think back of the many situations that you exemplified your courageous self.

Every thing you need is already within you

Waiting for you to trust yourself enough to recognize it.

Remember your courage is one of your many gifts of strength.

Acknowledge and use it wisely.

    “Us And Them”

    SMiLes Dear Savvy As Always It Seems Perhaps
    A Greatest Human Need As A Social Animal
    Is to Be Connected to
    Others Both Through
    Ideologies and

    Symbols of

    Traditions

    Bonding And
    Binding ThiS WaY

    Yet True it Takes Catching
    On Fire A Very Courageous
    Person to Break Tradition

    When One Recognizes the

    ‘Old Ways’ Harm Parts

    of The CuLTuRaL

    Whole Umbrella

    For It’s True To Stand Up
    For Those Who are Marginalized
    Risks the Same For Those Courageous

    Enough to Break From Tradition to Help
    Other Who Are Harmed by The Old Ways Indeed

    Some Folks Are Born More Closed SouLeD To This
    Propensity Others Fly With Wings And Become Real

    Angels on EartH
    With MeSSaGES
    Actions With Power to Free
    Those So Marginalized indeed…

    To Paraphrase A Recent Sage
    “It’s About the Age of the Ideas”

    Those So Full of Anger Hate And Wrath

    Or A Newer Testament of a SAge Truly Who Saves

    In Depths
    oF LoVE iN Peace..:)
