Courage.<\/h5>\n

It means everything.\u00a0Yet, it means nothing.<\/p>\n

We fool ourselves into believing that we are brave.\u00a0But in reality, we are afraid.<\/p>\n

Afraid to let go.\u00a0Afraid to take a step into the unknown.<\/p>\n

Afraid to make a change.\u00a0Afraid to accept it.<\/p>\n

Afraid to accept another\u2019s point of view,\u00a0for fear of losing our own.<\/p>\n

Afraid of tomorrow… and what it may\u00a0bring.<\/p>\n

Afraid that today might\u00a0not work out the way we planned.<\/p>\n

We base our judgement of today and tomorrow, on happenings in the past.<\/p>\n

We are afraid to take a decision… at the same time, we are afraid of the consequences of not taking one.<\/p>\n

\"Courage\"<\/a>

Courage: The coward within us<\/p><\/div>\n

We claim to be above pettiness, yet we fight inconsequential\u00a0battles in our minds every day.<\/p>\n

We claim that we have planned our futures. Still, we have no clue what tomorrow may bring.<\/p>\n

So we wallow, suffer, and stay undecided.<\/p>\n

We run from challenges. We avoid decisions. We avoid doing what needs to be done\u2026 because we are afraid.<\/p>\n

We are cowards.<\/p>\n

Yet we claim to be full of courage.<\/p>\n

The truly brave know that taking a leap of faith is the only way\u2026 for every time a door closes, another one opens.<\/p>\n

It is only when destiny and fate push us into a corner, that we realize the many options available to us.<\/p>\n

But till we cross that bridge, we live in the illusion of comfort, pacifying ourselves with the motifs and totems of the known and familiar.<\/p>\n

Have the courage to break free. Take the leap. Make the change.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be new, tomorrow will be happy, tomorrow will be an adventure.<\/p>\n

Don’t worry about whether you are deciding wisely.<\/p>\n

For there is no such thing as a right decision, or a wrong decision.<\/p>\n

To quote spiritual Guru Deepak Chopra<\/a>,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
