courage

A sheltered life

can be a daring life as well.

For all serious daring

starts from WITHIN .

The Universe gifts me

with courage in all things.

I cherish my own courage.

I salute myself for the brave action

I undertake in my life .

I focus

with clarity and appriciation

on the choices

I have made

which have requiered courage

and selfdetermination .

I applaud myself

for my strength

and my daring.

Rather than belittle myself

for my fears ,

I choose to honor myself

for the bravery

with wich I have often walked

through my fears .

I count back

in specific ways

and enumerate

for myself

examples

of my own courage :

the new friendship

hIave undertaken ,

the steadiness I have shown

in a difficult job ,

the honesty I have displayed

in opening a difficult conversation .

I honor myself

for my bigheartness

in the face of challenges

from which I could have

- but did not -

shrunk back.

My courage

brings blessings to my life.

My courage

blesses the lives of others .

to think about YOUR COURAGE !
