Courage in the Face of Adversity
Michael Burcham
Trusted executive coach, advisor and thought leader on strategy, entrepreneurship and value creation.
Courage is Fear that's said it's prayers. It's raw strength in the face of pain or grief. Boldness when facing uncertainty.
Your greatest strength, your deep courage, grace and resilience will ultimately come from knowing who you are and connecting your deeper self to your activities.
Your identity is intrinsically linked to how you face, survive and thrive under the pressure of adverse and challenging circumstances. Knowing your life purpose strengthens every part of your life and changes your perspective on all of your difficulties. We cannot avoid adversity - but adversity can never define who you are.
As you go through dark times, hold tightly to the vision of your life purpose and do all that you can to live it. As you do this, all the difficulties you encounter will be transformed into something higher and more meaningful.
