Incremental Bravery

Can you relate to any of these statements?  Do you have any of your own you'd add?

1. Take responsibility for your own happiness.
   
   
2. Your worst fear, and your highest destiny, race each other.  Every day.  And you get to choose the winner.  Every day.
   
   
3. Some days, the choice may feel so hard to make, you'll be tempted to choose stagnation, or even regression.  Don't.
   
   
4. It's nice when people from your old reality bless and cheer your new reality, but sometimes separation happens instead.  Be okay with that.
   
   
5. Notice when you give parts of your power away.  Notice what causes you to do that.  Transform, or transcend, the cause.
   
   
6. When you finally get to know who you really are, don't apologize.  Walk taller.
   
   
7. Let go of time-sucks and energy-drains, so you can be fresh and available for your Deeper Values.
   
   
8. Your body is rarely confused.  Pay attention to your gut feelings, which work like an inner traffic signal: red, yellow and green lights, to guide you on your way.
    
9. Trust that the world will not fall apart when you speak and live your truth.  It will, in fact, be made more whole when you do.
