Set Some Goals, You Big Chicken!

Setting goals and not allowing myself to be sidetracked may not seem like courage, to you, but to do some of the things that I need to do requires me to get some back-bone and leave behind the wish-bone.

What do you need courage for? Why do you need to be brave? What goals would you like to see reached? What would make life better for you?

If you can’t answer that question, then I suggest you give it some thought. You must have some dreams floating around back there somewhere! What would you like to do? It can be personal, professional, relational, whatever. Set that goal and then decide that you will reach it, no matter what.

When you get that do or die attitude, you find yourself overcoming obstacles that you never thought you could. You will look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I can’t believe how brave you were! I can’t believe how courageous!”

Now of course you’ll know you were just being stubborn and not letting go of that goal. But then you’ll know; courage by any other name will smell just as sweet!
