All change, big or small, is uncomfortable. Fear and uncertainty, especially, cannot be avoided when it comes to the pursuit of your goals and dreams. But if you are truly committed to creating the future you want, you cannot let the discomfort of uncertainty intimidate you – you must choose courage.
Courageous pursuit is the active choice to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, to confidently face down and overcome the fear and uncertainty that accompanies striving for your most meaningful dreams. This is not just a singular choice, but it is one you must make over and over again. It’s like working out; you could choose to go on a walk today, which would be a good start, but it doesn’t mean much unless you choose to walk again tomorrow and the day after that. The same is true of courageous pursuit. You need to exhibit courage repeatedly and consistently for it to have an impact on your dreams and future.
Your goals will require you to face uncertainty and be courageous every day. But if you passionately believe in what you’re trying to achieve, you can find it in yourself to continually dare and challenge yourself until you get there.
