COURAGE

I found this while I was tidying up - it's a big poster in my own handwriting - but I can't remember writing it nor where I got it from. It says ...

IT IS NOT THAT THINGS ARE DIFFICULT THAT WE DO NOT DARE.
It is because we do not dare, that things become difficult.

Courage : an action that springs from the heart. All action inspired by a center of true love brings with itself security and firmness that cannot be disturbed. To be courageous is to know that fear offers no resistance to love.

Hmmm.. it's quite appropriate that I found this now : I am starting a brand new training tonight - Idea Generators In Progress. And my POV of how to be a great idea person is to simply allow love to be stronger than fear.

Which leads me to another topic. Neale Donald Walsch, author of the amazing 'Conversations With God' series said that all action is motivated by only two things - love or fear. Since then, I have also heard this from many masters. And when I look at all the choices I've made in my life, yes, it can be traced to either love or fear.
