When you are up and running, when you’re rocking, when you feel the world is at your feet – it’s very easy to face your fears.
But when you are blue, not rocking, not happy even – that’s when the truth of the statement – “Only right now exists” comes into picture.
Because irrespective of your emotional state – only now exists. And if only now exists nothing can be deferred to the future simply because of a bad emotional state, right?
Maybe that’s what self discipline, courage and belief are – taking action irrespective of your state of mind.
I mean isn’t it cool to be facing your fears despite shaking and almost freaking out.
Yo ho ho…Life rocks J

Courage
Courage is the act of proceeding despite fear. Fear is like a line of nettles we must cross before reaching the soothing and cooling waters of freedom. Facing your fears is one of the best decisions you can make in your life.
Sometimes, even when we have decided to face our fears, courage fails us. Fears come disguised as discomfort, unwillingness, carelessness etc. We think, I am like that – I don’t like doing this – these are all excuses. Having once decided to face one’s fears, we must look forward to facing all clumsy, uncomfortable, undesirable situations. I want to fail, I want to be uncomfortable, I want to face my fears, again and again and again – should be your war cry!
Sometimes we are so afraid that we choose the security of cowardice over the adventure of fear. But every moment we have a choice and courage is making the right choice despite our conditioning and false feelings of security. Beyond fear lies strength indomitable, so why not proceed. Don’t we miss 100 percent of the chances we don’t take? So why not treat every problem – mind you- each and every problem as a challenge and solve it? Why give in to our own thoughts? We are not our thoughts, are we?
