The greatest obstacle on our path to success is fear. Fear enslaves our lives ? our spirits, minds, hearts and bodies.

Successful people are courageous. They are able to confront fear in situations of uncertainty or danger ? they walk through fear. Courageous people defy rules, persevere and expand horizons by breaking through their inner boundaries of comfort.

Courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to resist fear ? the ability to bear pain. The source of courage is internal ? it resides in the mysteries of love, truth and spirit. Those who are internally confident do not fear the external world. Courage combined with perseverance is magic that dissolves obstacles and opens the door to success and freedom. Live bravely ? because blessings follow the brave. Awaken your potential knowing that the power of courage is within you.

Affirmation: I am courageous

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practise any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest. Maya Angelou
