Being Strong and Courageous begins first with our mindset!
“Be strong and Courageous. Do not be terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.”–Joshua 1:9
Admit to the fact that you either have the mindset of a conqueror, or the mindset of a weakling or failure. The fear of failure is based upon the fear of death, but to overcome failure we must remove the negativity and the failure mindset from our beings and replace our thoughts and beliefs with positive thoughts that are motivated or geared to faith, belief and success.
“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”–Muhammad Ali
This can be done by renewing our mind with the Word of God daily, as we are limited only by our perspective, intelligence, time, space and our humanity. Meeting God daily on a one on one basis removes our earthly limitations. ”Be strong and of a good courage!”
“Because of a great love, one is courageous.”–Lao Tzu
Learn to banish fear from your life. Understand that you do have the capability to take the necessary steps for personal fulfillment by helping others, attaining new friends, growing new personable contacts and better ideas which will lead to the fulfilling of your inner dreams.
By reducing and eventually removing the fear and worry from your life, you will begin to see new options, new ways of doing things, and receive new ways of relating to life that were invisible to you before.
“Love bravely, live bravely, be courageous, there’s really nothing to lose. There’s no wrong you can’t make right again, so be kinder to yourself, you know, have fun, take chances. There’s no bounds.”–Jewel
Being Strong and Courageous allows you to abandon worry and fear from your life and thereby gain the confidence to pursue a new career or dream, gives you the emotional freedom to ask others for help, the ability to handle criticism as well as rejection with ease. It gives you the confidence to allow yourself to take a risk, speak to a group, ask for a necessary raise, do more for your favorite charity and the courage to invest in a business.
“Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you ,just keep on believing in yourself and turn it in to something positive.”–Leah LaBelle
“Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.”–Hyman Rickover
Fear paralyzes and stops you in your tracks. It has the ability to overwhelm you and immobilize you. Being Strong and Courageous is God’s pattern of success by purifying us of past failures, giving us fresh revelation from His Word, and thereby leading us into “paths of righteousness” which will end in Success.
