courage

courage

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend in the profession about life, business, and family. I shared some things I’ve been thinking about with him, and we began discussing the importance of waiting for decisions to unfold.

He hit me with this great quote,

“We often confuse courage with always having to be about taking a leap or making change immediately, but courage is also having the patience to allow things to unfold as they are supposed to.”

I immediately grabbed my phone and typed what he said into my Notes so I wouldn’t forget it, and told him that that quote might be one of the main reasons I came to the conference–to hear those words.

Having patience can require the same amount of courage as making a drastic and quick decision.

Thanks, Toussaint!

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

Justin Castelli, CFP? This reminds me of a great quote and is the title of a mind-expanding book by Barry Stevens, Don't Push the River.
