Episode 43 - It Takes Courage - The Courageous Journey to Your Best Self
The Courageous Journey to Your Best SelfThis rousing journal entry is a powerful exhortation to embrace the courage required to become who you've always envisioned yourself to be. The author declares that living each day striving towards your unlimited, God-given potential and being the best version of yourself demands unwavering bravery. However, courage must coexist with fear - the ever-present doubts, anxieties and self-limiting beliefs that manifest as "false evidence appearing real."
The core message is that one must muster the fortitude to push past those mental barriers, to disregard the doubters and pessimists, and to audaciously pursue even the most outrageous of dreams. It takes courage to be ruthlessly self-honest, focusing solely on self-improvement across your human trinity of mind, body and soul.
Courage allows you to love your equal human neighbors while recognizing your phenomenal worth. Ultimately, the author's own extraordinary life as a renowned author and intellectual was built through the courage to believe in the impossible and relentlessly shed what inspired fear and self-doubt.
Becoming your best self is a courageous journey of radical self-affirmation - replacing "I think I can" with the resounding mantra "I know I will, I know I am."
Takeaway action item: Identify one self-limiting belief, insecurity or "false evidence appearing real" (FEAR) that has been hindering you from fully embracing your highest potential. Write out a courageous affirmation contradicting that fear and read it aloud daily.
