Self-Coaching Action
Reflecting on and writing about experiences is a very powerful tool for supporting people going through stressful situations. The reflections help you see what you did in the past that you can learn from and apply to your current situation. You can realize your own capacity for courage. In your leadership journal write about a time in your life when you believe you demonstrated courage, whatever you understand that to mean. Your story can relate to something recent or in your distant past. It can be about something that occurred at work, at school, in your community, or in any setting. In talking to people about their experiences with courage, we've found that some folks struggle with the notion that they might have acted courageously. If you have this initial response, that's pretty normal.
To get started, you might begin by completing this sentence several times until you settle on something you want to think reflect on more deeply: “It took courage for me to ___________________________________________.”
Then, write down your answer to this question: “In that moment of courage what lessons did this teach me about courage?” You are a courageous person, so keep working on strengthening that courage muscle, and it will be ready for the unexpected fears and uncertainty you will face in becoming the best leader you can be.
According to me , Courage is one of the most beautiful and powerful word .because courage is something that gives you the strength and positivity to chase your dreams and persuade your passion . heroes are those people who took the courage to take right decision at the right time.
i sharing my own experience regarding my life changing movement
i always dreamed to become a professor in my life but after completing MBA i have placed as an analyst in a leading multinational company through campus interview. all of my family , friends ,and teachers where quite happy about this . because they offering a fantastic salary package . then i force to choose that carrier because everybody around me thought that was the best offer anybody can get. every body told me you must accept this offer . so i joined the firm . my team in the office were quite good . i have good earning so everything was going good but i always felt that i didn't persuade my passion and don't have inner happiness also. around two years i worked that firm but in these two years i am not happy internally because i always want to become a professor , i want to teach students , i want to become a mentor for them, but what i was doing i am just sitting on a computer and doing financial analysis .
when ever i talk with my friends or family regarding my dream they always discourage me . they told me it is not easy to get a job like this . in order to become professor you need to pass national eligibility test and that is very difficult and only 6% of people are passing yearly. so you need to go coaching for 1 year if you didn't pass it will be waste of one year. even if you passed the test also, you want get much opportunities because you are a fresher .
i always get negative commends from people regarding my passion and everyone thinks that i going to take the wrong decision regarding my career . actually that time i was in a dilemma because i don't know what to choose ,whether to choose my passion or my profession .
so at last it took courage for me to choose the best decision in my life as to to become an assist professor because i want a life that will give me inner happiness. i just want to follow my passion. so i resigned from my job and i started studying for my national eligibility test . i worked so hard and i have cleared my exam with in my first attempt so after that i joined in a Govt College as an assistant professor. now i am 100% happy with my profession . now i understand what is the real happiness you are getting from a job. earlier i was not happy with my life but was just acting that i am happy. but now i can say i am the most happiest person in this world.
the courage to take the right decision in the right time brings me happiness in my life . when i got the courage to say in front of every one that, this is my passion and i want to follow this . that movement is the most beautiful movement in my life . courage brings you positivity, courage brings you happiness and straighten your mind . so always show courage to take right decision.
