Are you a courageous type of person?

I've been to a lot of relationships, worked with several companies, and has been to a lot of investments in life. But reflecting back, I see that during my youth, I tend to escape away from my life issues just to avoid confrontations or fights. I don't think I was a courageous soul. But now that I am handling people and they are relying much on me, I try not to run away from responsibilities. I steel my nerves to a confrontation. One thing I can't do though... it's to initiate admission of my mistakes or take risk. I would rather be sure that I am right before I get into something. I think I'm still the cowardly type. How about you? Would you say that you are a courageous person? Can you give me advise on how to become one?

Self-confidence is sufficient to advance both professionally and personally, emotionally.It is very important to know that you do not need guides or supporters to show you the steps that have to do in life, but the inner voice. Can only take courage, confidence, hope,strength and inspiration for the projects and dreams you have. Give yourself the opportunity to act according to your own will without caring about what people around you. Face a situation where you are afraid, you should view a conversation,respond and show that you deserve to be respected. You do not have to depend on what people around you.

Thanks for your advise. This is one area where I really need to improve at. I always think what my idea would do to other people and I always fear to do unpopular acts. However, now that I am in a position where I need to assert myself, I have to level up or otherwise, those dogmatic people will eat me up. See you around mylot.

You need to stand for your ideas, and push the fear away. Believe in yourself and your abilities, confidence in who you are. Think that the person infront of you and you not going to live forever so d say the right thing. Two thing to concur 1.fear 2. Self confidence. good luck.

Thanks for your advise. You are very correct. Life here is not permanent. I should not fear what others will say or think of and be afraid of the judgment I'll get at the other life. Then, I must be strong to do the right thing.
