"Begin, and grew the courage to be wise."
- Horace -
If you are shy, hesitant, or passive, you risk having a life filled with routine and goals are not achieved. Progress that we see today is done by those who dare - scientists, politicians, artists, and other people who do not wait for chances, they created chances. So if you want to be someone who is brave and can not be stopped, the following are a few ways you can do to start your momentum.
1. Pretend You Are A Courageous.
If you trade places with someone who is very brave, what would they do if they were in your position? If you know someone who is brave, imagine how they would act. If you do not know people like that, who dared to think of a character from a movie or book. Spend an hour every day for a week to pretend to be them.
When you do that, go to a place where the people do not know you and do not be surprised to see your actions which may be other than normal. Try to do and see what happens - you might find extraordinary things when you are brave, and you may feel confident to apply this attitude in your daily life.
2. Take the initiative.
When you feel doubt - especially in interacting with other people - keep your ego and take the first step. Ask your colleagues if they want to go to a cafe for a drink after work. Tell the people you love that you have 2 tickets to a concert and you want that person to come with you. Give your best friend a hug and apologized for the mistake you've ever made before. Smile and blink at the cashier that looks interesting.
3. Do Something Out of Allegations.
What can you do that you think will surprise people who know you? Wearing high heels? Bungie jumping? Following a dance class? The brave men are not afraid to try something new, and one of the reasons they are so interesting to be around you is because they continue to keep you guessing.
You can start from something small, maybe wearing colors or styles that you normally do not use, or visit a place that you do not normally visit. Eventually, you will reach a point where you have an idea that makes others gape when you step forward ("Are you serious? Rafting?" Or "You must be joking. You want to buy a shop in the street?").
4. Ask for What You Want.
Instead of waiting to be recognizable as your business, or expect someone to consider your needs, go forth and ask.
Some people feel that the act of asking for something is greedy, selfish, and rude - and it's true, if you ask for something that does not belong to you. But if someone hold something into your right, they are greedy, selfish, and rude.
After all, the worst thing that could happen? They said no.
• Ask for a promotion or raise that you later and you're done.
• Ask for discounts. Menawarlah. The phrase "What the best price you can give to me?" Is an easy and powerful way to save money.
• Request that your credit card annual fee waived.
• Ask for help or advice to relatives, friends, or someone who is completely unfamiliar.
• Ask for clarification if you are not sure what people expect from you.
5. Taking Risks.
There is a difference between reckless and take risks. Careless people do not take the risk .. they do not think about the risks that exist. On the other hand, a very brave man to understand the risks involved, and have decided to stick to their decisions, are ready and willing to accept the consequences if the reality is different from what they expect.
Think of an athlete who take risks every day. Are they careless? No. They take measured risks. You may make mistakes: we all make mistakes. But not doing anything is also a mistake, something that could bring you the emptiness and regret. For some people, taking risks and failing is a very rewarding experience than doing nothing.
Conversely, do not confuse with aggressive bold. Aggressive often impose your opinions or actions on others. Courage has nothing to do with the people around you; courage is overcoming your fear and take action.
Remember, although you will feel very excited to do something new, there remains the risk of failure because of your inexperience. Sikapi your failure, failure is not the opposite of success, failure is an important component of success. The opposite of success is silence.
6. Rediscover Yourself.
In essence, courage comes from within you, from what you believe. Courage is not about what you do, but who you are. If you do not know yourself, you do not have to be brave.
Begin to appreciate your uniqueness. Find things that make you different and show it to the people around you. Devote the attention and care of yourself because it does not matter what other people say. That is the essence of courage.
