Pill for Soul – How to Develop Courage during Hard Times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are living presently living through a horrific universal crisis and at this time, we have a thousand reasons to panic due to the uncertainly of our situations. At this time, the fortifying force that will get us through is courage and persistence.<\/h2>\n

Courage is the opposite of fear and while some people may have natural courage others are more fearful, courage is also like a muscle we need to develop.<\/p>\n

Obstacles actually give us the muscle and fiber we need to develop, and the more we practice courage, the stronger we become internally.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ways we can build courage:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start with reading courage stories, our Holy Book, quotes, and other material about courage and pray, meditate.\u00a0 We first need to feed our soul in order to change our mindsets from fear to courage.\u00a0 As you read words on courage, they will start to recharge you and give you deep inner strength.\u00a0 It is all about developing new thoughts and a new pattern of thinking so as each day dawns, you will get new strength.<\/li>\n
  2. Push through challenges:\u00a0 It is very easy to throw up the towel and run away.\u00a0 We come across countless statements on Twitter where people proclaim openly that they want to die or they are going to commit suicide.\u00a0 One has to develop a mentality to push through. You have to have a motivating image in your mind always, either as a mountain climber who is definitely going to reach the top of the mountain or a swimmer who is going to cross the lake to the other side. Something has to push you on.\u00a0 Or an image in your mind that you will go through COVID in shining armor and be untouched, and victorious at the end of the pandemic.\u00a0 Remember, we have untapped energy that enables us to push through and courage makes us win.<\/li>\n
  3. Develop a state of calm:\u00a0 It is very easy to panic, and say fearful things all the time, and panic leads us into a state of hysteria.\u00a0 People often send WhatsApp messages with conspiracy theories and setting people into panic attacks.\u00a0 It would be wise to ignore these messages. Take deep breaths and stay calm. Pray when thoughts of fear start to attack you and speak to yourself to be calm, assure yourself nothing bad will happen.\u00a0 A calm mind will always build our inner strength.<\/li>\n
  4. Always remember that the storm happened for a reason, to change us, and once we walk through tough times, we will never be the same person we were before it.\u00a0 Thus, it is important to glean lessons through the storm.\u00a0 If the storm does not transform us, it will keep raging.<\/li>\n
  5. Presence changes us:\u00a0 Our inner strength and courage grow from the presence of the positive and the Presence of God in our lives.\u00a0 The more you cultivate “presence” the less you will panic and though you face problems, you will overcome and never be defeated in the true sense of the world.\u00a0 Each situation changes you, from “strength to strength” as you walk through it in courage.<\/li>\n
  6. Always remember life is not always easy but we get stronger:\u00a0 Courage grows when we start to lose the fear of the unknown.\u00a0 In fact, if we develop an attitude to let go of our fears, and not worry about what will happen, courage fills us instantly.\u00a0 No matter what happens, if you trust in a higher Source and believe in yourself, you will keep growing stronger.<\/li>\n
  7. Your greatest strength is your uniqueness: Transform whatever you are and turn your weaknesses into your strengths.\u00a0 For example, if you are a person who panics easily, take that and practice patience and calmness.\u00a0 If you get angry fast, recognize it is a problem, work on it and transform yourself to a peaceful person. This will become your uniqueness because from what you used to be, you became a new person and that is great courage. Accepting your weak points and transforming them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cFor what it\u2019s worth: It\u2019s never too late to be whoever you want to be. I hope you live a life you\u2019re proud of, and if you find you\u2019re not, I hope you have the strength to start over again.\u201d \u2013 F. Scott Fitzgerald (American novelist).<\/p>\n

    Have a wonderfully blessed day!<\/p>\n

    One walks through
    \nThe wilderness
    \nWith great courage
    \nGoes through the fire
    \nDeep encounters
    \nTransforming and enriching
    \nThrough each trial
    \nBecomes better and sweeter<\/span><\/p>\n
