At these
times of pandemic, we have seen heroes who are changing our world and helping
us, if not selflessly, undoubtedly beyond their own capacity: doctors, nurses
and people who are laboring in hospitals are risking their lives. It is
courage.
Some would
say it is their job; others would say
they didn’t have a choice, but IT IS
courage, and you know what, courage is the result of a very interesting
formula:
Faith + Determination = Courage
In the example
mentioned, faith comes from their
profession and their call, the reason for what they are doing what they are
doing; determination comes from a
sense of purpose.
What about
you and me? How much courage do we have?
Well, let’s
go to the formula and check our faith
– I am not meaning the religious faith although it could be it:
- Looking at the negative situation in front of me, how much do I feel confident I will overcome it?
- If I don’t feel I can conquer this situation, what can I do so that I feel OK even though this is happening?
- Looking into my past, which other situations I was able to go through well, that can teach me a useful lesson for the present circumstance?
In relation
to determination, the best way is to:
- Understand what is going on, what are the best steps I
can take now and my next steps.
- Experiment with thoughts and ideas, exploring new ways to
put them into reality.
- Keep on checking the self and results, motivating the self to
move forward no matter what.
By strengthening
both faith and determination, naturally courage will come from within, enabling
the person to shape their reality and hopefully, other people’s reality. A new
hero is born…
