Life Favours the Brave

I sent my kids off to school this morning – their first days in junior high and elementary school – reminding them to BE brave! As they are my biggest inspiration, they got me thinking how ESSENTIAL bravery is to our personal growth.

Being brave is critical to Embracing Potential. Part of the process is to uncover your biggest fears, pay tribute to them because they brought you to today, and move through them. Tap into your inner power and Live in Possibility.

You are no different than my children. You were there once, too. As scary as starting a new grade can be, when you summon your courage, the nervous energy turns into excitement because you KNOW you have the power to create your reality. Such is the way of life, and love.

Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, wrote, “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.” I believe I have born witness to both ends of this spectrum. I have seen how truly the brave demonstrate love and how the cowardly fail. LOVE is a game that is not for the faint of heart. It is, indeed, a contact sport. It requires practice, skill, commitment and courage. … that is obvious by the wreckage a weakly played game can leave in its wake. I am blessed to see love wherever I go these days. I am bearing witness to love WITHIN me and now I see it withOUT. This is lesson I pass on to my children, and to you.

BE love and you will find love. BE brave and you will be rewarded.
