The courage to own your life will pay dividends long after you’re gone. It’s an investment in the generations to come.
In the same way that we look back on our predecessors or great grandparents and feel a sense of awe about their achievements, or their way of life, generations from now, someone may be doing the same about us.
That’s why it’s important to get over our insecurities and act with purpose and conviction.
No legacy worth leaving was ever created by focusing on what others might say.
If nothing else, worrying about what people may say is the very root of the fear that prevents us from sharing with this world what it desperately needs.
Authenticity.
When we operate from a place of fear, we step into survival mode.
We’re prone to protect what we have or what we’ve inherited, rather than growing because of it.
That fear then makes us aggressive towards those who don’t deserve it, and it convinces us that what we have is all we’ll ever be capable of achieving.
Courage results from believing in the value of what we are capable of creating, and pursuing it as if our life will remain incomplete without it.
But that assumes that you haven’t already surrendered to your fears and embraced the probability of amounting to very little by the time of your death.
Don’t wait until your final sleep arrives before realising that you prevented yourself from living.
Your past only defines the experience and skill that you acquired to navigate your future. It doesn’t, and never will define your future.
It always starts with you.
