Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night, and just seat up on your bed wondering what path your life is sailing towards?

Life can spin us in different angles, but it’s left to us to have the courage to either push onward, or be scared to make a move.
According to Tony Robbins; “Courage is a muscle. The more you demand it within yourself and take action, the more you grow and transform.”

Every entrepreneur needs courage. It takes courage to quit your day job. It takes courage to start a business. It takes courage to remain flexible. It takes courage to pivot. It takes courage to believe in yourself even when no one else does.

As we go through life, it’s very easy to get caught up in the status quo. You start to believe that average is acceptable and that since others are settling, then it’s okay to do the same. Now there goes trouble, because as soon as you notice this start to happen, you need to snap out of it!

Jack London once said; “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”

What gives you that sleepless night; is it success in your career, is it recording the next hit song, is it trying to fall in Love, or is it increasing your income? Make up your mind and go after it with courage and that burning desire. It comes to one simple question; How bad do you want it?

In this new world order, it is imperative to live a purposeful life. We all know as humans in 2021, we must live through and above the corona virus, despite the numbers of infected COVID-19 patients globally.

Sometimes, you need to question your actions and ask yourself; Are they really in line with who I am? If I look back on my life in 50 years will I be proud of how I’m directing my energy and unique strengths?

To be candid with you, it is not what we do once in a while that shape our lives — it’s what we do consistently. You’re a Champion, get up and face your fears. 2020 gave us more challenges, more change and more uncertainty than ever. 2021 is our chance to rise above, take control and create the life that we want to live, regardless of what’s happening around us. Don’t settle for an ordinary life when you can create an extraordinary one.

I leave you with this quote by Earl Nightingale: “All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.”
