We often hold ourselves back from taking truly bold actions because of fears, doubts, or insecurities, but when we do so, we underestimate the power of courage. Simply stepping forward with confidence and optimism can often work wonders in our lives. This can lead to lucrative opportunities, beneficial connections with others, and increased abundance in every area of our lives. With any activity we pursue, choosing to step out of our comfort zones and take bold action will produce results that we would otherwise never have known. Who has experienced the power of courage?

Hello Pose. It is well said that the power of courage is really great. I have some humble experience when it comes to my moving to work from one place to another. I used to work in a public school, but I was not pleased with the low salary and made my final decision after thinking it hard. I moved to work in a private school and got my salary tripled from working there. You know, before I made my final decision, I lack of enough courage to leave my stable public school for my stable work. Encouraged by my family, I made it and now I have accelerated my achievement in realizing some of my goals in life ever since my moving to the private school where I have been working for more than ten years. It is just out of this power of courage that has made me achieve some successes in life. Thanks for your nice discussion, my dear friend.

It is true indeed that it is the courage that makes the move. Otherwise I would stay where I used to work without making much improvement. Thank you so much for the best response, Pose.

This is true. Especially when you know deep down inside that you need to do something and at the same time, others are not with you on that decision. That would really be difficult, because no matter what, you have to go through with it still. Another good topic here, Pose..

The power of courage to do something away from the comfort zone, sometimes may end a person in great trouble. This happened to my brother who ventured into a business and left his comfortable job. He lost everything and came to the point where he had to depend on his siblings for support. Now he went back to work in a company but it is not as paying and therefore he is no more in the comfort zone.

One must truly believe that the energy we bring to any situation determines the result. If you can believe this it will give you that extra bit of courage to
step up and do what you know needs to be done. It doesn't matter if this is a personal relationship or a professional one.

I think I have.
A few years back, almost 7 years to be exact, I brought my family from one country to another. I brought my wife and baby to a place where we did not have any friends or relatives, and I did not have any job prospects. All I had was the hope that this new place where we're going to be will have a better future for my kid/s. We are not fully there yet, but it has become easier.

I certainly experience a lot of those doubts and fears but I do the best I can. I'm slowly starting to leave my comfort zone now and I'm still trying to push forward with it. I guess the more you do and experience the stronger you become! I like to think that I am becoming stronger and stronger mentally as time passes by! Andrew
