The formula for manifestation in our physical universe is known to be "thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, which lead to results." Most people have plenty of thoughts and feelings, but the breakdown for many seems to be ability to take "action." The culprit, of course, is |

If you could change one thing in your life today, what would it be? Why don't you have some of the things you'd like to have, and why do you have some? What's the reason for the inconsistency?
Do you find yourself wondering what people think of you? Has that line of thinking ever made you doubt your abilities and your potential?
Do you ever catch yourself thinking 'I can't do that, I'm not good enough' or 'that level of succ... |

| What is Courage? by Harriet Rubin | |
| |
|
|
|
|
What is courage? It may be the most desirable - and the messiest - human virtue. William Ian Miller wrote the book on courage, and even he calls it a mystery. The first story that he tells in The Mystery of Courage (Harvard University Press, 2000) is that of "the good coward" in the Civil War. The soldier resolutely marches into every battle - and every time runs at the first sign of bloodshed. When each battle is over, he returns and prepares for the next fight, resolving to do better. But he repeats the pattern again. Many Civil War soldiers were court-martialed or shot for desertion, Miller writes, but not this soldier. "The coward was never punished," Miller says, because "categories like 'coward' are not so easy to fathom."... |

| Courage comes in many forms by Unknown Author | |
| |
|
|
|
|
Courage is not only found in the heat of war or the mighty works of brave men and women. Courage is the mother taking care of her sick child in the early morning hours. Courage is the father who shows up on time everyday at a boring, low-paying, dead-end job to feed and clothe his family.
Courage comes in many forms, not only from thoughts and deeds of greatness, but in the routine, everyday art of living. In a media-driven society, consumed by celebrity status and the "get ahead" syndrome, the mundane and unglamorous works often appear to go unnoticed and unappreciated.
When life gets you down, when it seems that your world is at an end, take courage and go the next step. You will be amazed at the power and strength you have inside.... |

When our lives, or those of our loved ones, are on the line it’s relatively easy to draw on our inner reserves and face any number of horrible things. But what about those moments when you realize there are more days left in the month than money? When your teenage kids are flexing their independence muscles while heaping on a healthy dose of attitude and hormones? Or when you are shouldering a heavy load all alone? Those are the times when you need the most courage. So how can you tap into those inner reserves and keep on keeping on?... |

| Fear - The Attachment to Time by Peter Shepherd | |
| |
|
|
|
|
All fear is, in essence, fear of the future. We are afraid of the things that have not yet happened, but which if they did might bring us pain, suffering or some other discomfort - or stand in the way of some future contentment. And we are afraid that circumstances that are already causing us displeasure may continue in the future.... |

Recent events, comments, and behaviors I’ve seen have induced a preoccupation with the notion of courage. Here’s a definition from an online dictionary: "The state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery." ... |

If you are the one who is often left holding the hay bag at the county fair, burning the midnight oil as your department scrambles to complete a last minute request, or making brownies for the bake sale, do you often wonder, “Why me…again?” If you find that you have come to resent some of jyour time commitments, then you likely either have too much on your plate, or are loading it with activities that bring you little joy – and it’s time to take stock and makes changes. It’s time to learn to say “no”... |

| The Smell of Fear is Near by Irene Becker | |

|
|
|

While we have been conditioned to act from a center of fear, because fear sells, let us not forget that fear also smells. When our physical wellbeing is truly threatened fear can be a lifesaver, however, when the threat is not real the smell of fear can still travel faster than a speeding bullet to perpetuate bad decisions and panic or inertia.

One way or another fear can wreak more havoc than many other things because it’s devious. It’s truly sneaky, finding myriad manners to manifest itself. A lot of business owners over the years, especially women, in the early days of their new businesses have told me that their self talk is more destructive that just about anything anyone else can do to them. All too often the little voice asks, “But will they listen to me?” “Will they say yes?” ... |

| Do Something That Scares You Every Day by Marta Z. Kagan | |

There is something innately terrifying about stepping outside of your Comfort Zone. Sometimes even the thought of trying something new or different can cause your heart to race. At the threshold of every new experience looms the possibility of failure, rejection, or injury, leaving you wrestling with (or simply giving in to) a healthy dose of fear.... |

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"... |

Beginnings always lead to endings just as each ending
gives birth to a new beginning. Many years later, fate would have it that a business trip would take me through this same town of long ago. I stopped at the same bake-shop to order some pastries and to see if the sad woman was still there.

| Taming the Worry Monster by Jane-Michèle Clark | |

I know from my own experience that worry can become a crippling monster with tentacles that wrap themselves around your lungs making it difficult to breathe, and get into the corners of your mind making it tough to think clearly and into your very soul, making it almost impossible to take the action that would kill the worry monster.
And when you feed the worry monster, by listening to ... |
