#HaveCourage to want New

#HaveCourage

Hi Everyone! As you may remember, December is the month I have dedicated my blog to encourage readers to #HaveCourage. Courage is not the absence of fear or absence of obstacles, but it is the "mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty" (Merriam-Webster). Our actions are only courageous when there is a presence of fear or an obstacle.  

I have a list of various actions, behaviors, and feelings I want to encourage you to #HaveCourage for and I don’t know where to begin. I feel like the items should be in some kind of order but, if you know me, you know I am very indecisive. So I think this series of #HaveCourage blogs will not be in any particular order but as I am led by the voice of God and the cry of the people…

Today, I want to encourage you to #HaveCourage to want something NEW. That’s the thing about the ending of one calendar year. At the stroke of Midnight, it is the ending of the old and hopefully a step into what is new. But truth be told, we cling on to what has been and what is practically worn out and old instead of getting excited for what is new that lies ahead. It takes Courage to actually desire to have something new because the old is so comfortable and so familiar. We know what to expect with the old; the New is foreign territory and may be inhabited by lions, tigers, and bears…oh my!

This December, I want you to #HaveCourage to want something new in your life. This new may be finally looking for a new job or a new place to live (because you know that you really are tired of the job you currently have). New for you may be a new romantic relationship because the relationship you are in is going nowhere fast. Ask yourself, What do I want to be NEW in my life? Whatever answer you admit to yourself, let that be your priority in the New Year to achieve.

Blessings,

Aurellia
