In Others: Be More Courageous

If at all possible, I like to hang out with courageous people.

People who don’t back down from a challenge.
People who aren’t scared of the unknown — or, if they are, stare it down with their own brand of moxie.
People who’ve been through the worst that life can throw at them and have held onto their faith and their sense of humor — while letting go of all those little things that seemed important, but were merely emotional clutter.

If at all possible, I like to hang out with people who dare me to be brave. 

People who believe I’m more courageous than I think I am — because then I start believing them, too.
People who bolster my less-than bravery with theirs — and make me stronger.
People who say “Yes, you are” and “Yes, you can” because the affirmation of friends and loved ones is a powerful force to be reckoned with.

And yes, it’s possible that I have far more courage than I ever dreamed possible. That you have far more courage than you ever dreamed possible. Stop and consider that truth for just a moment. You and me … we’re more courageous than we imagined! If there’s anything we don’t want to waste, it’s courage. Think about all you could do if you believed you were more courageous than you ever imagined.

And then act like it.

In Your Words: Who encourages you to be more courageous than you think you are? And who do you encourage to be brave?
