Anxiety is a fuel for Courage

Coming from someone who often lives in a black or white world, to come to the possibility that both anxiety and courage can and in a way need to exist synergistically…

I consider this a moment of growth…for me and maybe it will land for you too.

Without anxiety, how can we understand what it takes to be courageous? And without courage how can we look back on what we overcome with pride?
In a way anxiety, rather than something to move away from or try tune down, maybe can be and actually is a source of fuel. A fire starter, an inner catalyst for what we know in our hearts must be done.
And whatever that challenge is, the task, the person we need to speak to, the interview, the mountain before us that awaits us to climb. The anxiety, like an espresso, wakes us up to the fact that the moment in here, this is actually happening right now and the only way out is through.

And so in the moments that present challenge, because life will always present us with them. Could it be a possibility to rather than fear the feeling of anxiety, instead take anxiety’s hand with your courageous heart and trust in your leap with faith.

Love,
