Daily Inspiration: Personal initiative – “Anything can be accomplished with courage!”

“Anything can be accomplished with courage!” – Futurist Jim Carroll

I drew a blank this morning.

Most days, I pull together the next day’s quote the previous day and then spend some time thinking about what I’m thinking about. For some reason, I didn’t manage to do that yesterday – the result being that as I started my day today, I went into my mindset folder of unused quotes (it’s in Gmail) to find something to think about. And I found this one – ‘anything can be accomplished with courage.’  It looks like I sent it to myself on December 21, 2021 – I don’t remember the context of the time, but obviously, something was on my mind!

Courage? If that’s the theme, here’s a key thought for the day – “Courage is the secret to strength!,” something I shared way back in 2019.

Courage? Anything can be accomplished with courage – it’s the thing that gives you the power, strength, and fortitude to push through those tough times.

But it’s not just the tough times that you need to draw upon your reserves of courage – you need it in your everyday life. All of us are being buffeted by change, disruption, volatility, and uncertainty – it always seems relentless. That’s why every morning, it might be a good idea to fortify ourselves with our secret weapon – our courage to continue to face the unknown, battle the ambiguity, and innovate our way through it.

We need to make sure that we always dare to buck the status quo, dismiss the naysayers, and make big bold steps.

To do that, we need to draw on our courage reserve – and then take a deep breath, and dive into the deep end, both eyes open.

Because even when you have nothing, you always have something – your courage!
