Take Control of Your Courage

Courage is like air or water. We take it for granted and don't benefit as fully as we might if we use it more effectively. Using the air and water analogy, used effectively, air holds airplanes up and water creates electricity. Used effectively, courage can eliminate worry, gain help you gain new friends, become a public speaker, find a mate, make your marriage better,, lose or gain weight, etc., etc.

You were born with courage and unlimited curiosity. Your curiosity made you want to look around and touch things and your courage enabled trying to do what you wanted. You quickly learned some of the things you had to courage to try, were painful and or resulted in the words "No", "Don't touch that" and "bad" being introduced into your vocabulary.

Moving ahead from infancy to the present, you still live with curiosity and  courage but, how much of each you have and use depends on the thousands of lessons you have learned over the years. Too much or unmanaged curiosity, can interfere with needed focus and discipline. Too much or unmonitored courage can lead to poor decisions and can even be fatal.
