It is a myth that you have to overcome fear before doing anything.
Courage is a by-product of action, not a prerequisite for it.
Courage is a muscle. Do it afraid.
Your courage grows in proportion to your action.
May I have courage to speak the truth.
Make people uncomfortable when they need to be. May I never be silent to be nice but always choose kindness instead: truth is kind, even when it’s difficult.
May I never let the wrong just slip away or police my words and edit the truth out of fear.
May I have courage to stand alone if it means I am standing in truth; not afraid to be uncomfortable if it means not accommodating lies and fakeness.
May I have the courage to tell myself the truth too, to face myself with clarity, to choose to grow from what I find in the mirror.
May I have courage to create.
Whether nobody sees it or a thousand people do. May I have courage to bring something new into the world, because my heart can’t help but do it, because the magic inside of me needs a way out; may I give life to my ideas and and make my inner world visible. May I have courage to translate my story and believe in its power.
May I have courage to create when I am scared of rejection, mistakes or criticism. May I create when I feel I am not ready or not good enough; knowing that to become great I first have to be bad.
May I have courage to love.
To love not knowing the outcome. To love not knowing if I will break or soar or both. To love not calculating the risk.
May I have the courage to keep my heart open when it’s easier to close it.
May I always surprise - call the ones I love, bring them soup and chocolate, hold them when they cry, make them laugh, give them space when they need it.
May I always have the courage to say ‘I love you’ when it’s true, not knowing if I will hear it back.
May I not wait to love, not hesitate, not hide from it.
May I have the courage to ask for love, when it’s the most tender thing to do.
May I have courage to do the hard thing when it’s necessary.
May I have the courage to not run from something that could be great just because it’s difficult. May I have the courage to show up and stay present when it is easier to retreat, the courage to protect the ones I love; the courage to choose growth over comfort when it’s about time.
May I have the discernment to know when it’s ok to do the easy thing too.
May I always remember that to be happy you need courage.
Happiness is the fruit that the brave get to enjoy.
May I have courage to stay loyal to myself.
May I live in alignment and integrity even when it means being lonely.
May I never again betray myself in order to belong.
May I have the courage to disappoint others in oder to make myself proud.
If the cost of belonging is authenticity, it is too high.
May I always have courage to ask questions.
May I have courage to think the unthinkable, to not accept the most convenient answers.
May I have the courage to question myself, to challenge my own thoughts and break my own heart if necessary;
May I have the courage to leave the soil I have outgrown and plant myself somewhere new if it means my roots will stretch further.
May I have the courage to trust in my own power, my own wisdom and the courage to commit to my becoming wherever it may lead me.
Love this! So many gems and so much food for thought. I'll defo be using "may I have courage" as journaling sentence starter prompt. 😊
I know you're already in a bunker (secretly) doing this. But could you finish that book? Pleaaaaaase! ✨
