“You can’t swim for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.”
It takes courage to leave your comfort zone, it takes courage to go after your dreams, it takes courage to live a life worth remembering. It’s very easy to die, it takes courage to live.
It takes courage to grow and become all you are destined to be, it takes courage to embrace the possibilities of your potential, it takes courage to go after what you desire. It’s very easy to stop, it takes courage to keep climbing until you reach the top.
It takes courage to look at your failures and still choose to try again, it takes courage to meet with fierce opposition and still choose to fight, it takes courage to endure pain, and choose to be strong. It’s very easy to fall, it takes courage to stand.
If you have tried and met with defeat, If you have planned and watched your plans fail, If you have given your all and again you lost,
Remember that the great men and women who have lived before us were all products of courage.
Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid, it means you don’t let your fear stop you.
You can’t swim for new horizons until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore. You can’t become all you are destined to be until you have the courage to leave where you used to be.
The great things of life that you so much desire is on the other side of fear, you need courage to go after and possess them.
Don’t be numbered among the fearful ones who neither achieve greatness nor experience defeat, who neither enjoy the thrills of success nor learn the lessons of failure.
Go out into the world, it’s time to start living. Face your fears, fight your battles, it’s time to conquer, that’s what you are made for, that’s why you are here.

The way you speak to yourself matters. Negative self-talk can be damaging to your sense of self and overall happiness. And contrary to popular belief, it will not motivate you to do or be “better”. Here are several tips for changing your self-talk:
– Listen to yourself and the commentary that runs in your head all day. Get clear on what it is you say to yourself and how it makes you feel.
– Try speaking to yourself in the third person, or using your name to get some emotional distance from your thoughts. This may help you take your thoughts less personally.
– Question what you are saying to yourself: “Is this true?”,“Is this thought helping me or harming me?”, “Am I over-reacting, or being overly harsh?”
– Be kind. If you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself. Practice being encouraging with yourself, as you would your best friend.
