The Art of Being Brave

Good Afternoon from the Garden Cafe! As I sit here feeling all safe here in my Cafe, sometimes I like to reflect on how fearful I use to be when I was a child and young adult. I use to put so many expectations on myself and my parents to make all my decisions for me. Then I wouldnt have to worry, all my decisions would guarentee that I would be successful. I would be able to accomplish all my goals without falling on my face, I wouldn't have to overcome any fears, I could just let other people control my life. How boring life would be if we never took a chance. There is no crystal ball that can determine your future without your involvement. You have to take over the steering wheel of your life on your own.

We all want that couragious spirit that enables us to face life's decisions without fear. The confidence of trusting in some higher power enough to follow through with whatever makes us afraid. Never losing faith in ourself. It's what sets us apart and keeps us from failure. It's our amazing life and we only have one chance to be brave and persevere........

So this is your challenge for today. Go out there and do something Brave. But don't be too hard on yourself. Love yourself and be proud of everything that you try to do. Even making mistakes in life means that you are out there trying!!
