“Today I will do the small brave thing that’s been waiting.”
Though I’ve never seen any of his work, my favorite quote is by John Wayne: “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.”
That’s today’s focus. Courage. Not grand acts of heroism but smaller, more subtle gestures that have given us anxiety or fester below the surface, then come to light. Mark Groves gives examples like “the uncomfortable conversation you’ve been avoiding” or “the boundary you’ve delayed” or “the truth you haven’t said out loud yet”. He says that courage is doing something even though you’re scared. (That’s what reminded me of the quote.)
Mark wants us to look deep inside of ourselves and find that bravery that will allow us to live the life we want to live but have suppressed. He wants us to find the passions and dreams that we’ve silenced. He wants us to be courageous by leaning into what we feel. Even the pain.
Courage. All it takes is 10 seconds of bravery to change your life. Mark says that we don’t need to do it all, just take the first step. That’s it. He says, “Start with Step 1 and the path will illuminate itself.”
I must apologize because I’m having trouble putting into words what I want to say or what I’m feeling. I’m blown away by this session. I’m so grateful that this is today’s lesson. I needed it today. This session is really very powerful and I’m not even sure I can find the words to describe it. It truly is something that I want you to listen to for yourself. And I hope that it inspires you to do the one, small, brave thing that’s been waiting patiently for you to realize and follow through with – whatever that may be.
Namaste.
