Become Bold, Fearless and Courageous in pursuit of your Dreams

Become Bold, Fearless and Courageous in pursuit of your Dreams

(not arrogant, rude, know-it-all nasty and mean) There is a Big Difference here.

It’s one thing to “Think it” but Daily Action is required Fulfill it. 20 Daily Acts below.

Pick the Top 5 that you need to improve on (20 could be too many for you). Remember Take what you need, Leave the rest. Confidence develops with daily action, not thought.

There is no small act of courage. You can't compare the courage it takes to battle cancer with the courage it takes to become a doctor.

Both are very brave acts. You can't compare the courage it takes to become an Olympian with the courage it takes to raise a physically or mentally challenged child.

Both are incredible feats. You can't compare a firefighter who saves a life to an eight year old child who consistently stands up to a bully. Both acts are heroic.

Most of us don't think of ourselves as brave people. Yet that's exactly who we are. If you reflect on your life, one decade at a time, and write down your bravery, I'm sure you'd be surprised.

Every brave thing we do in life counts. It's time we claim our bold and audacious self. 

It's time to celebrate our fearlessness. As we do, we can begin to think of ourselves as bold people who are sometimes fearless instead of fear-filled people who try to be bold.

Everyday acts of Courage to practice and celebrate:

1. Apologize

It takes courage to admit when you are wrong. It's a bold act to admit when you make a mistake. Apologizing takes you out of your comfort zone and enhances your relationships. That's big.

2. Be yourself

Don't imitate anyone. Take off your mask. Allow yourself to become vulnerable. Share your flaws with others. See perfection in your imperfections. Who you are is a gift to the world. Allow yourself to shine.

3. Take responsibility

You are where you are in life because of the choices you make. If you don't like what you see, change it. One question I ask myself often is, "Is this the life I want to create?" If you don't exercise, make a change. If you need to get out of debt, spend less. Responsibility brings freedom.

4. Keep your commitments

Write down everything you say you are going to do. Write down the promises you make to others. When you keep your promises, you build self-respect. Others respect you as well.

5. Rock the boat

Speak up. Make a difference. Share your feelings when you witness an injustice. Practice sharing your opinion. Don't allow someone to take advantage of you. Learn to say, "no." Refuse to hold back when your gut says to move forward.

6. Let go of the past

Stop wallowing over what could have been. Forgive yourself. Forgive your parents. Forgive everyone. What happened is over unless you keep it alive by reliving it in your mind. When we know better, we do better. It takes courage to move on.

7. Grow

Learn something new. Step into the unknown. Change the way you do things. It doesn't matter if you get it the first time. Try again. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. Seize the opportunity. Growth brings new opportunities.

8. Listen

Listen to people who disagree with you. Listen to family members who think you are wrong. Listen to the elderly person in the coffee shop. Listen when you only want to speak and give advice. Listen and thank the other person for sharing.

9. Help others

Help someone who doesn't help you. Help others when you don't have the time. Help someone who can't pay you back. Help someone when you are the one needing help. Learn to be of service. That's why we're here.

10. Love

Turn the other cheek. Overlook annoyances. Be kind to each other. Be truthful. Accept differences. Love is a verb. Spend time together. Act like a loving person. You can love difficult people as well. Forgive them and wish them the best. Let them go with love.

11. Practice gratitude

Count your blessings. Tell the people in your life "thank you." Be grateful for the people you love and for the people who love you.

12. Choose to be happy

Make a decision that you will think happy thoughts, speak kind words, and spend time doing things that bring you joy. Have a good attitude. See the glass half full. Look at the bright side. Expect the best. Choose to focus on what's good.

13. Learn from your mistakes

Reflect on what went wrong and what you could have done better. Look for your lesson. Choose to grow forward. Be gentle with yourself. Make a new plan. Try again. Refuse to give up.

14. Relax

In our intense and fast-paced world, it's easy to feel like you're missing out or being left behind. You do too much, work too much and miss the joy of everyday living. It's bold to step back, take a break and relax.

15. Follow your dreams

Take action daily toward your goals. Ask for help. Network. Research and Plan. Take more action. Adjust your plans as you go along. Be open to something even better. Never give up. Adjust. Push on.

16. Enjoy the small things

Take time to revel in a flower blooming, the taste of a glass of cold water, the different shades of green, a child's smile or an elderly person's worn hands. Enjoy the smell of clean clothes and the taste of a fresh slice of bread. Enjoy a brisk walk, a quiet morning, or a star filled night.

17. Go the extra mile

Allow someone to go in front of you in traffic or at the grocery store. Do more than what is required of you at work and at home. Hold a door open. Surprise someone. Don't keep score. Leave a big tip and help someone believe the world is a generous place.

18. Ask for help

When you are stuck, addicted or unhappy, seek professional help. Hire a coach, a therapist or join a support group. When you are overwhelmed at work, ask for assistance. When you don't understand something, ask for an explanation. Check your EGO at the door and pray about the big stuff out of your control.

19. Put family and friends before stuff

If you value your loved ones, make them a priority in your life. Work less and play more. Laugh. Create traditions and rituals. Find hobbies and activities that everyone enjoys. Have fun. Experiences bring more meaning than needless shopping.

20. Love Yourself

Accept your imperfections. Be your own best friend. Show yourself compassion, understanding and respect. Go easier and stop beating yourself up so badly. This is the most courageous act of all.

Another boat has just left the harbor, on a destination unknown, but the path has already been set before it. This is the salt of the earth, which transforms us into what we are meant to be, not what we think we are. An excellent presentation of motivation, and building a strong foundation for a fruitful life. Powerful indeed my friend. Thank you for sharing this piece, and know that it has been equally shared with my valued network, which could benefit from such a composition offered. You are awesome, Rob Balmer, and I am surely glad to have you within my network of friends counted. God bless you, and your family always, and a heartfelt thanks for this fine work given. v/r, Will Penn
