Courage is not an Image

"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is that quiet voice at the end of the day that says...I will try again tomorrow."-Mary Anne Radmacher.
Courage comes from our mind and from ourselves according to the existing conditions. When we think about courage, generally, heroes and their heroism come to our mind but it is a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain. It's a quiet voice that gives them the strength to go on for another day. And it shows our confidence level and of sometimes in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Courage automatically comes out from our minds but should not be estimated by showing external physique or personality.

In our day-to-day lives, the virtue of courage doesn't receive much attention. Courage is a quality reserved for soldiers, firefighters, and activists. But sometimes people who always afraid of certain things show their courage when the situation comes. Not only at hurdles or troubles or fearful things, but one should be courageous in doing the things like in decision-making, helping others, to comment others or to complement others and so on.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.

And we have the quote: Fortune favours Brave.

CHANGE: Change or Accept

Change is not easy. But it is simple. We know that Things will always change. And we do not have a choice about that change, but we do have a choice on how we react to change. It is in our hads how to react to that unbelievable or believable change. The choice really boils down to this...either we manage change, or it will manage us. As a leader, however, deciding to make changes is the easy part. Getting your people on board is much more difficult. Why is that? Quite simply, change is an emotional process. We are all creatures of habit who usually resist it, and welcome routine. Uncharted waters are scary! The truth, of course, is that change can be a wonderful gift. In fact, it is the key that unlocks the doors to growth and excitement in any organization. And, most importantly, without it...your competition will pass you by. And we can say, change should be mandatory. Change should be there. As a leader, a big part of success will be your ability to inspire your team to get out of their comfort zones; to assure them that even though they are on a new path, it's the right path, for the right reasons.

So, finally.... it is on our attitude about change because we know everything is predetermined and predestined. Whatever the change we observe, we have to accept or if we can't accept then we can change. Is it? Is it possible? yes. If we changed it, then it is also a change already predestined. Anyways, we welcome change, we must. Because Change is Good.


Finally....

Accept what we cannot Change or

Change what we cannot Accept.
