Courage To Follow Your Heart & Intuition - Steve Job

My friend Marie Louise Steenbjerg sent me this quote about courage.  How much have we lost in our life that could have been ours yet we passed right by? I would say a great deal.  It takes conviction of purpose, living in courage with passion to follow our life’s path.  No one said it would be easy, that there would not be challenges.  Take any challenge and turn it into an opportunity.  Look behind the challenge to see, hear and feel what is really there for you. There are gifts you could not dream of to be found, when you listen to your inner voice.

Debra Oakland @ Living in Courage Online

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
~~~ Steve Job

Courage Defined by Debra Oakland

Today I was thinking about Courage. Huge subject, but this is what came to me while mulling it over.

Courage is the will to act upon the strength and power within the Heart. Courage is not something you can have, it is something you become. To live a courageous life takes place in a person when they allow the true essence of who they are to rise up and shine for all the world to see. Fearless of opinion. Those courageous individuals who are true to themselves feel a powerful resolve that is unshakable. A true conviction of purpose to carry on in the face of any challenge. To stand in power of purpose is a pure point of courage, available to everyone who cares to utilize it in their life. The unfoldment brings forward the power alive within. This point of power has been diminished greatly and when awakened can shatter the fear of moving forward toward the intention or goal. Greatness arises from mediocrity. One or more lives are altered as awareness shifts to possibility and progress. Great is the union of courage and honor - a great gift within the heart of every human soul.
