At this point in my life I am a very fortunate woman. I have so many wonderful things going on, and I have the luxury to look deeper and think about how I can improve. One area that has really been calling to me lately is how I need to actually live my values. I think about the things I truly value and then look at how I live my life, and it doesn’t really seem to match up. I’m not completely beating myself up for it, but I am wondering how I can be in more alignment with the two. This is where courage comes in.
To really live my life and to really live my values I know I have to change some things that go against the status quo. Honestly I live a very safe and pretty easy life, and I’m not sure that is ok. What is a life that plays it safe? Again, I am not completely upset by it, but I know I could be doing better. Of course, here I start thinking about how I ultimately would like to see my life, and it is overwhelming. How could I possibly shake up my life, especially when others are affected by it? Do I have the courage to even more forward towards this more aligned life?
As scary as it may be, I am guessing I do have some amount of courage in me. I have the power to move forward, and it doesn’t have to involve making big changes all of the sudden. If I break it down, what small changes can I make today to get to where I want to be? Luckily, I have been thinking about this for long enough that I do have some smaller ways that I can start with, and to me that is progress. What about you? Do you think you lack the courage to do something important to you? If so, is there a way to break it down or take smaller steps to build up your courage?
