Courage is the starting point of everything good. To love another is to automatically feed the fire of courage. We cannot be humiliated when we are fighting for someone or something we love. We will not give up when we are fighting for loved ones. As we evolve, our loved ones extend out from our family to include all of humanity. Courage and confidence will grow over the years with practice and self-awareness. We are never alone. God will help us. Such is the courage which gains respect from others. More importantly, we gain respect for ourselves.
Humility is the courage to be honest with yourself and those around you.
Be humble: have the courage to speak the truth.
Beware trying to iron out all your quirks, perceived flaws and doubts. It's often these things that help you find strength, compassion, empathy for others and heart.
You don’t have to swim when you know how to walk on water.
It takes a warrior's courage to acknowledge that your point of view matters, that your truth matters, that your gifts matter, and that your presence on this earth matters. You don't have to earn this right; it's yours as part of your birthright.
You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.
Dream while others are sleeping. Dare while others are wishing. Do while others are talking. Deliver while others are quitting.
The brave with all of their weaknesses are better than the cowardly with all of their strengths.
Joy gives you strength.Hope gives you fortitude.Faith gives you courage.Love gives you power.
The mind shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s wisdom; the heart, in proportion to one’s courage; and the soul, in proportion to one’s love.
Stars do not hide from darkness. Roses do not hide from thorns. Diamonds do not hide from pressure.
When a flower rises from the earth, it is overcoming its greatest opponent: fear.
To have extreme, laser-like focus, you must be willing to reject a lot of opportunities, even if they sound great.
Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them
Time is the first currency for success and one we all hold in common.
You receive the gift of time freely and equally every day, beautifully wrapped in twenty-four new hours to invest in whatever you want, and how you use each hour decides your success or the lack of it
Find something about yourself to laugh about every day.
The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.
You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.
To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.
There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it
Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.
Master the art of finding something to celebrate about in each moment and life will become an exciting adventure
Don’t try, be happy.
You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.
The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.
To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.
The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.
You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.
Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.
Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.
Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.
Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.
Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.
Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.
Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.
You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.
To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.
Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.
Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.
Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.
The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.
Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.
Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.
The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance
Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.
It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.
Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.
Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.
Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.
If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.
Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.
You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.
Acting courageously is about knowing and making the right choices based on a deep conviction that dwarfs fear, doubt, and worry.
Courage is the ability to make yourself take action in spite of your fear.
Successful people’s dreams aren’t just about results. They’re about the changes their dreams will bring to their lives and the impact achieving their goal will have on those around them.
Dare to be different.
Big dreams only come true when you believe and have the courage to pursue them.
Courage is important but it shouldn’t be used in making impulsive decisions or taking uncalculated actions.
You might fear you don’t have what it takes, but you don’t need to have all the answers or everything figured right from the start.
Finding the courage to break away from other people’s opinions, and your self-limiting thoughts, could be the most significant breakthrough transformation you make on your journey to success.
You are a product of the stories you believe and accept.
Until you develop the courage to pursue that dream in your heart, you will never reach your true potential.
To become successful you have to dream big. Small dreams don’t have the magic to stir up passion and greatness within you.
Embrace who you are and your divine purpose. Identify the barriers in your life, and develop discipline, courage and the strength to permanently move beyond them, and keep moving forward.
I thank God every day for this life, and I want there to be more, though that’s not known. What is known is that I’m alive today, this minute. And that’s pretty much what we all have – this day, this moment.
We all die. Not all of us live.
If I’ve learned anything from facing death, it is that life is not meant to be survived. Life is the greatest adventure there is. And why stop your adventuring when someone says the end may be near? The truth is, we never know when the end will actually come. None of us will avoid it forever. What’s the point in trying? Live fearlessly!
I am fighting to stay alive not because I fear death, but because I love life.
Acceptance of death and cancer did not mean I intended to give up, just the opposite. I was prepared to fight cancer not out of fear of dying, but out of joy of living.
Through the Grace of God and His medicine I am healed.” The prayer was accompanied by a vision straight out of Braveheart, a line of Scottish Highland warriors in kilts with huge shields and long spears marching in brave unison and attacking and killing the cancer. They were advancing, towards the cancer, striking and killing it with strong accurate thrusts from their sharp spears. The vision was so strong I could hear marching feet, and visibly see the cancer in me dying. “Through the Grace of God and His medicine I am healed,” became my constant prayer. The prayer awakened with me each day, coming on the wings of the morning. It followed in my heart through the day, and was on my lips as I drifted to sleep at night.
When I put down Lance Armstrong’s book, I understood something profoundly. Edie, if you can move, you’re not sick. I decided right then and there that no matter what cancer did to me I would continue to move. Movement was what the physical body was designed to do; it was how it coped and functioned. Movement was vitality. It was life.I would move. Always. No matter what. Until my last breath, I would move.
I started to walk the day I was told I was dying of cancer. I believe walking has kept me alive. I live with a constant, pressing awareness of death. Once I start to walk, I am not afraid anymore; all is well.
I walk to rid myself of the terror of cancer, and to overcome the fear of it coming back. The fear may never completely fade, but actively engaging life – whatever that may involve – reminds me of the joy each day can bring.
I love to walk. Walking is a spiritual journey and a reflection of living. Each of us must determine which path to take and how far to walk; we must find our own way, what is right for one may not be for another. There is no single right way to deal with late stage cancer, to live life or approach death, or to walk an old mission trail.
She wears it so beautifully doesn’t she, her pain… Always smiling, always positive…. always happy to help… It’s like a garment perfectly tailored to fit the way she carries it… with a touch of grace… and the quietness of that sad smile…. All so you’d never know how heavy it really was.
Hit the reset button. Whatever happened yesterday, forget about it. Get a new perspective. Today is a new day. Fresh start, begins now.
Step out on faith and walk into your purpose.
Wisdom comes from making mistakes, having the courage to face them, and make adjustments moving forward based upon the knowledge aquired through those experiences.
Have the courage to take off your mask and be humbled.
The point at which things happen is a decision. In stead of focusing on yourself, focus on how you can help someone else.
Divorce fear. Court courage. Pursue hope. Marry love.
Dear fear, I’m divorcing you. Dear courage, I’m courting you. Dear hope, I’m pursuing you. Dear love, I’m marrying you.
If your heart has been broken nine times, muster the courage to love again for the tenth.
Love makes you strong when others are weak, brave when others are scared, hopeful when others are despairing and cheerful when others are sad.
Wisdom has a hundred eyes to see opportunities, courage has a hundred feet to seek opportunities, and strength has a hundred arms to seize opportunities.
If birds did not believe in their ability to fly, the sky would be empty.
In a world full of pebbles dare to be a diamond.
Your scars are unique gems that contain opportunities for both personal growth and to help save the life of someone else. However, you can only realize these when you fully claim who you are. And to fully claim who you are also means recognizing, and taking ownership of the scars that come along with the rest of you.
If you kick a lion when it is down, God help you when it gets up.
When the sails are strong a ship has no reason to fear turbulence.
Ignore your haters. Resist your fears. Embrace your dreams.
It can’t be done,” they told the caterpillar. “It can,” replied the butterfly.
He, who fails to acknowledge and appreciate the real courage of our fathers, fails to appreciate the real lessons that the courage of our fathers teaches us today! The courage and the wisdom that propelled our fathers to move unrelentingly in their days must be nothing to us, but, a real reason for us to be more than courageous enough to do the undone distinctively in our days.
Heaven left a hole in your heart. But it’s up to you to choose if that hole will be filled with pain, anger, and the eternal darkness of loss . . . Or if you will choose to fill it with light and love and have that hole shine out of you like a spotlight into your life, keeping their memory alive . . .{It’s up to you.}
Invest in your dreams, not in your fears.
There's a difference between disclosing that which is only your business and hiding away from the world and not seeing, shining and sharing your magic.
First, fear will mock you, then fear will taunt you, then fear will oppose you, and if you ignore it, only then will it flee from you.
A bird must overcome its fear of heights before it can rule the skies.
A bird only conquers the sky when it has mastered enough courage to lose sight of the ground.
The sky’s dangers offer the eagle more opportunities than the nest’s comfort.
Courage lightens distress, hope alleviates grief, doubt aggravates affliction, fear worsens anguish, worry magnifies misery, and faith overthrows despair.
A lion will never be afraid of sheep, no matter how many outnumber it.
If a lion turned every time small dogs barked at it, it would be the laughing stock of the jungle.
Brave cubs become fierce lions.
The greatest weight a bird has to drop before it can fly is fear.
Singing in a storm silences thunder’s threats.
A bird does not give up flying today because it couldn't find any worms yesterday.
A lion will only retreat if you stare it in the eyes; likewise, so will fear.
Reach for the stars, not your fears.
A bird that fears turbulence will never know how high it can fly.
The higher you rise above your fears the higher you will rise above your peers.
The farther you venture into the forest the more valuable the fruit.
Fortune hides behind action.
You will never reach the stars without courage to lose sight of the ground.
A step towards what you fear is a mile towards mastering it.
The louder your “I can” the closer your “I've done it!
Believe in yourself, for the universe believes in you.
Small steps of faith add up to great leaps of success.
Some birds learn how to fly only after falling off of a cliff.
A divided mind cannot conquer a united soul.
Until you learn how to confidently say NO to so many things, you shall always say YES to so many things. The real summary of a regretful life is a life that failed to balance YES and NO. Yes! A life that failed to recognize when to courageously say NO and when to confidently say YES!
The gatekeepers are not there to prohibit you anything, they just want to frighten you away, if you are courageous enough to go through them, they will let you , thinking you are the owner or his so

Young man, be of good courage. Care not for what the world says or thinks: you will not be with the world always. Can man save your soul? No. Will man be your judge in the great and dreadful day of account? No. Can man give you a good conscience in life, a good hope in death, a good answer in the morning of resurrection? No! no! no! Man can do nothing of the sort. Then "fear not the reproach of men, neither be afraid of their revilings: for the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool" (Isa. 51:7,8). Call to your mind the saying of good Colonel Gardiner: "I fear God, and therefore I have none else to fear." Go and be like him.
Every person fails, nobody achieves everything that he or she set out to achieve. Nobody, regardless of how many personal triumphs they enjoy, no matter how rich or powerful they become, goes through life without encountering failure. You cannot fail unless a person valiantly tries to accomplish a task. The most audacious person readily attempts difficult projects, despite feeling uncertain if they can prevail. Successful people exhibit the character to respond positively to failure. Some failures prove instrumental in altering a person’s outlook, and their revised perspective leads to brilliant successes

Missional leaders not only feel the burden of God's mission but they also act on the burden and act upon it sacrificially. Leading a missional church is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage to push yourself beyond your comfort zone and to lead the church beyond it personal limits. Brokenness, inner turmoil and sacrifice will always be part of the missional leader's life.

Earnestly and persistently pursue your dreams.
Fear can only be mastered outside of your comfort zone.
Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them. Yet a lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena. A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey. A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker. Whenever you should question your self-worth, always remember the lotus flower. Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty. Do not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings destroy your confidence or affect your growth. Always be confident and courageous with your truths and the directions set out by your heart. It is very normal for one ugly weed to not want to stand alone.
You shall not be afraid to hear bad news. God will strengthen you.
