Have Courage

Courage A personal experience that I thought I'll like to share and pass it on.

The title "Have courage" is a personal story. Once I was feeling discouraged when things in my life weren't going well. I went shopping and in a Kate Spade store, I flipped over a luggage tag and there those words were, embossed at the bag of the tag.

I was astounded because it was a God-moment. I felt that God was speaking to me.

I didn't know why I didn't buy the tag but since then, I couldn't find that tag, not on websites or in the shop.

Since then, I let it remind me whenever I am facing personal growth that requires me to conquer, overcome a bit of fear and be uncomfortable. Have courage. It is so graciously elegant to do so.

Expanding Your Reality

Robert Kiyosaki & Ginie P. Sayles talked about this in their books.

Here is some quotes from Ginie: (Abridged version)

"At that time when I met my husband, if I had not educated myself to his lifestyle through all things I've been through; met; there would have been such a gap of experience between us that we would have had little in common, little to talk about, much less to build a happy marriage upon."

"Be glad; be glad when you feel the intense, frustrated, unhappy yearning. It means your desire system is getting healthier, stronger."

"Your desire system is making you uncomfortable with your present situation. It is insisting that you change your life in whatever way you have, in order to have what you want."

When we were younger, we often wore our mothers' things and pretended to be adults. We couldn't wait to do adult things, wear adult clothes and even as a young adult, I often wished I was older so that people would take me seriously.

The desire was strong. Similar, whenever we want something, a change, to acquire some skills, a new direction, the "Desire" in us has to be strong enough to push us out of our comfort zone. To be out of our comfort zone takes courage. To take action, is to actually actively pursue something, knowing that it might not work out, is similar as putting yourself out there.

For anything that you want in your life. We need to cultivate a strong desire, have courage and take the action towards our aspiration!

Patiently, Thought By Thought

Patiently, thought by thought,
Old habits are untaught.
We watch but cannot see
The seed invisibly
Become the oak or pine
Or warm fall fruiting vine.

We see the stature gained;
We see the growth attained,
But we cannot see things grow
The process is too slow.
Things have a time to root,
A time to flower and fruit
A time to stand and rest
And every time is best.

Waiting is also growth;
Living consists of both
Patiently, thought by thought,
Old habits are untaught,
New ways of life are wrought.

By James Dillet Freeman.
