Captains Courageous

December 22, 2013 by R. Mordant Mahon

What is Courage? What does it mean and what does it take to have courage? I’ve heard it said, “Courage is a lie that old men tell to young men when they send them off to die.” A clever maxim, yet I believe there is more to courage than that. One of my favorite John Wayne quotes is:

“Courage is being scared to death…but saddling up anyways.”

If you believe what the late-great Duke said, Fear is an active ingredient in courage. How can this be? Isn’t courage the absence of fear? Aren’t the bravest of the brave those without fear? The correct answer here is…no.

Courage is not about feeling no fear at all—a double negative, yet true nonetheless. You cannot have courage without fear. Courage and bravery mean having fear while maintaining the ability to move forward in spite of your obstacles, real or imagined, and get the job done. If you have no fear, then it doesn’t take any special fortitude. Nothing out of the ordinary in the way of grit or guts to keep you on track for deeds of daring do. You’re just doing your job—no problemo. It is when you have fear and then combine it with the need to keep moving forward anyways—this is when courage comes into play.

TOSOL #63 – Who Flung Poo? (Other People’s Messes)

September 27, 2012 by Success Freaks

Every day you’re working on your affirmations. You’re building your positive life as you continue on your journey to YOUR dream of success. You’re making changes to be a better friend, a better person, a better YOU. Yet, every day you come in contact with someone whose negativity threatens to infect your optimistic endeavors. When that friend you haven’t seen for a while greets you with only the bad/negative parts of his/her life, how are you going to react? When your family, friends, or co-workers dump their bad mood/problems on your doorstep, how are you going to respond? How do you keep from getting sucked in by negative, “poor me,” Poo-Flinging messy attitudes of others and keep it from derailing your forward motion? You alone have the ability to choose how you handle those situations. So…what are you going to do?

Tonight our “Pooh-Flinging” Motivational duo, Mordant & McFall, discuss what to do in these situations and how to change the negative to positive in each of our lives. Utilizing affirmations, prayer or simply thinking happy thoughts, we can not only shield ourselves from other people’s negative moments (because, hopefully, they are only moments), we can also help others turn their negatives into positives.
