Do You Have the Courage to Change?

January 6, 2010

Staying Motivated

Wednesday Inspiration#23

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.  – Muhammad Ali

Be courageous. Be encouraged.

It takes courage to change. Whether it’s a career change, life change, or relationship change – all change takes courage. Courage can be defined as bold, fearless, or daring. Are you ready to make a change? Reflect on these three questions:

  • What do you need to be bold about that you have up to this point been drawing back from?
  • What fears are blocking you from being as bold as you need to be to move forward with your change?
  • What can you do to build the courage required to make a daringly different move to get different results?

Be encouraged in transforming your life from bright to brilliant: Brilliance comes by being courageous enough to pursue change when others take the easily travelled road.

    Your site is packed with valid information and very easy reading. I have bookmarked you for new tips. Can anyone recommend other sources for information on career change cover letter information?

  2. career change Says:

    Finding the right career change involves taking on the job of a salesperson to market yourself. My tip is to make it known to family and friends what you are on the look out for as they will then network for you.

  3. Tai Goodwin Says:

    Good tip – family and friends are an underutilized source. It is also important to make sure they understand what you do, what skills you have so they can market you correctly to their connections. Thanks for sharing.

    I once heard that courage is not the absence of fear, it is the will to act despite being afraid!
