It Takes Courage

“When you summon the courage to do what others won’t, you will have in life what others don’t.” –Leadershipology.com

One day my son and I were driving in the car and I began to talk about courage: It takes courage to do what is right when others are doing wrong. It takes courage to put God first in every area of your life. It takes courage to save the money you make; invest the money you save and give the money you have made from investment to advance God’s kingdom.

It takes courage to not be negative in negative situations. It takes courage to be positive…period! It takes courage to believe the best when the worst has been displayed. It takes courage to grow beyond who you naturally are into who you can supernaturally be.

It takes courage to forgive when you have been hurt, especially by those who love you the most. It takes courage to learn from your critics especially when they are not saying what they are saying because they want to help you be better.

It takes courage when you have been corrected to say, “Thank you for correcting me and helping me to be better.” It takes courage to believe against all odds, but without faith, it is impossible to please God.

It takes courage to be a man…a man of God, who lives with a transcendent cause to advance God’s kingdom in the earth…but that is how WE are going to live son.

As I ended our conversation, with this Leadershipology, he wrote it down so he could remember it. I am honored by his courage!
