Boldness Grows with Bold Choices
Our quest for boldness is one that we must take moment by moment. We must look at
it like this…things happen throughout our day, and we are always faced with decisions. We can either choose the bold (right) way of action or we can choose the limited (weak) way.
For instance, say that your friend calls you and asks you to do something. Your mind says, “I need a break…I really don’t want to do it.” You can either be direct and truthful and say “I need a break. Let’s do it another day, or you can weave a convoluted story that paints an untrue, over-dramatic story. Being direct is the bold way to act. Weaving a story takes energy from both you and the listener.
Or…say you are at work and you make a mistake. You can blame others or circumstances, or you can stand up and say, “I made a mistake…it is my fault.” The bold course of action takes the confusion and negative energy from the moment and then you move on to correcting the situation.
Or finally, when faced with the decision to gossip or share negative thoughts about others, the bold decision is to say something positive or try with all of your might to say nothing at all. Bold living doesn’t have time for petty thoughts that aren’t empowering.
Each day we are faced with decisions and we become bolder and happier when we make the right decisions — even though bold action may be scary or cause momentary setbacks. Successes built on wrong action lead to future pains and failures.
The soul craves simplicity. Bold action will get you there…
Nearly five years ago, I became obsessed with the concept of bold living. Something just wasn't working in my approach to life. With wild abandon, I began reading books by bold thinkers, interviewing & observing them and attempting to apply the principles they teach to my daily life. Over a span of time, I learned that we human beings have the power to create any scenario we wish to see. You and I can accomplish the seemingly impossible with a combination of inspiration, hard work, courage, and never-ending boldness.
