You can never conclude anything if you always start in the middle.
master both sides of this valuable coin
Principles and Courage are two sides of the same coin.
Principles are guidelines for living, chosen by you for you. To be worthwhile they must be forged in reason – through deliberate thinking, not just emotion.
Courage is deliberately choosing at any moment to adhere to & be guided by your Principles rather than the dominant emotion of the moment.
Courage is not absence of emotion; it is mastery of it. It is choosing to follow the path proscribed by your Principles rather than the path proscribed by Fear; reason overcoming the impulse to react to your fears. So the best way to develop courage is to research & cultivate a clear understanding of your Principles.
Remember: Courage is ultimately a deliberate choice – guided by our Principles – that we are all capable of making .
the 2 ways through a problem
What’s the difference?
Feeling your way through a problem generates AVOIDANCE. Thinking your way through a problem generates RESULTS.
its about the little things in life
When you’re truly committed, it shows through in the little things.
are you so sure about certainty?
When everything is certain, it means that your conditions are more or less fixed. And fixed conditions mean that you have little chance of exerting any control over them.
When everything is uncertain, it means that your conditions are far more fluid and changeable. And this means that you have a much better chance of influencing conditions in your favour – if you’ve a mind to.
So here’s the bonus: When nothing is certain, anything is possible!
is it good to concentrate your focus?
Are concentration and focus different?
Concentration is about the intensity of energy you are bringing to bear upon an issue. Focus is all about the scope of the attention you are paying to it.
just cross the rubicon
When you know why you’ve chosen something and you trust that choice, you’ve actually “decided”. Until you reach this state, you’re still “thinking about it”.
Really important distinction!
