As I've aged the gap between how I thought life would be/ should be and my reality has widened. I think this may have affected my esteem and therefore my courage to take big risks like I did when I was younger.

Working on regaining my courage to live life boldly and as best as I can I'm focusing on being more:

Explicit, More aware, directing change, becoming more resilient, and celebrating my efforts, and being imperfect.

It is not easy to be courageous every day and that is the wonderful thing about life - we can choose do do better.

I can be more courageous and understand that opportunity always presents itself so I can say NO more often.

I can ask for help - be courageous and explicit - no one makes it alone.

I can focus on posture and affect to influence others and set bigger goals.

I can honestly rate myself and challenge myself to be better.

I can reconnect with my pack  - humans are pack animals.
