Courage
Fear not
Fear is our built-in automatic early warning system designed to protect us from danger. What happens next will determine whether we continue to live in fear.
Courage is putting principle above popularity
The INPowered are absolutely clear about what values and ideals are so important to them that they will hold fast to that conviction no matter how terrifying the consequences might be.
There is strength in flexibility
Have you noticed that it’s almost impossible to snap something in two that’s flexible? But those objects that build strength solely in their hard, rigid structures are more susceptible to snapping or cracking under extreme force.
Solidarity means protecting each other
When it’s time to stand your ground you also find out on which side you stand and what you are willing to risk in that cause.
Stand boldly for truth
When you start lying to others—or to yourself—you become a slave to the lie.
Brave is thinking for yourself
Brave is thinking for yourself. Some of my best ideas are the ones that come because someone challenged me to stop and think further, or because they embellished my idea with some innovative thoughts of their own.
Remember
Remember, you were born with a heart and a mind from which you grow a conscience and the courage to follow it, use them both.
During the storm, renew yourself
Look for constructive ways to use this pause of the storm that mother nature provided to give you reprieve from the distractions, the hustle and bustle, the frenzy that you had let happen to you.
The sun shines above the darkest clouds
In any time of crisis, do the work of recovering from adversity. Love yourself enough to show up every day and doing what is necessary to get a little better—to fly above the clouds in the sunshine.
