WOMEN: Finding New Levels of COURAGE

Life is always asking a little more from us, yes? Asking us to be more, do more. This has been on my mind with all the tragedy, death and destruction and it has reminded me again that I've collected a few pieces of encouragement that seem to help me find new levels of courage---that always leads to creating new VISIONS of what is out there for us to capture.

Below are three things that have been trusted friends:

1. I have a big rock on my desk that has YES! carved into it. It reminds me that once I really answer, "YES!" to a question life asks me that the way is opened.

2. When I get scared about doing hard things, I repeat a mantra over and over that a friend shared. I CAN, I WILL, I MUST, I AM. Try it sometime. It gives you an instant lift.

3. Twelve two word sentences define my heart's desire. I found them in a spiritual song some years back. If these things happened what else does one need?

Melt me.
Mold me.
Fill me.
Use me.
Cleanse me.
Teach me.
Hold me.
Reach me.
Shield me.
Free me.
Call me.
Lead me.

How about you?
What encourages you?
What tools to you use to find new courage?

Dear Cocracy,

Thank you for your message. Many people visit the Women in the Lead INSPIRATION Blog. I feel them in the distance and can see them, but it is very nice when someone connects.

Because I shared my "treasures" in this writing, I am even more thrilled to know you received them. Hope you will visit again. We welcome YOU!
