Dear Reader,
Project Courage is one person’s effort to unite everyone in increasing awareness in the world of the negative effects of fear. The focus of this project is to amplify our ability to show courage, bravery and love in everything we do. From my own experience I came to realize that for most of my life I wasn’t even aware of some of the fears that limited me. These limitations intertwined with physical fears, but mostly emotional having repetitive negative effects in almost all areas of my life. Because of this I constantly felt like a victim to people, government, society, the world, you name it… I always had someone to blame.
We are all deliciously unique in our perception of the world and have a distinctive way of seeing things. I believe it is our experiences in that negative contrast that gives us a firm grip on what it is we fear. I spent most of my life running away from fear, making excuses for it and believing that life just had it out for me and I was the butt of Gods joke. I wasn’t the only one; I can tell you that over the years I have taken part in millions of pity parties. As of late my invitation has been revoked, I guess I have become one of those annoyingly positive people that think life is wonderful.
It is your unique perception that I am looking for. There is an absolute brilliance to the way you see life. There is a perfection that only you can achieve in being who you are and sharing your unique story of courage. I have been inspired by my own stories, but I have been moved by stories of people who have embraced a fear and come out stronger and more confident in who they are and what they believe. I am asking you to share your story. There may be some fear attached to telling your tale, I only ask that you face this endeavor with courage, bravery, determination and love.
There may be many experiences to pick from, I know in my own understanding I have embraced and surpassed many fears, some big, some small. They keep surfacing in different forms but everyday is an adventure in turning inward and trusting what I find there. So many of my own fears were attached to lack of self worth or feeling my birth was a mistake in life.
I felt as though I was just not good enough and no matter what I did I would just not measure up. I know now that all of that is crap and I’ve been lying to myself for so long that I actually believed it. I surrounded myself with circumstances and situations to keep myself in that comfort zone. My self talk was a daily abusive reminder of how worthless I was. What a delicious experience it was, so silly when I think about it now, but I actually felt alone.
I had an experience a few months ago that woke me up out my perceived hell. I lost everything that I had attached my value to. My cars, my house, my wife, my children, my church, my job, my money everything I had been used to. It’s important to note here that I wasn’t happy with my life before this all happened and at the time this was just another slap in the face. I had spent many years looking for the answer. After a few days of feeling like a life was just not fair, and entering a state of deep depression something clicked inside me.
I was forced to face the fear of losing everything, yet I was no longer afraid. I had nothing left to lose; I felt I had lost it all. There was something bigger inside me that had been hiding behind the fear for all those years and for the first time in my life I felt free. It had all been a lie, my reality shattered in that moment and I saw my life flash before my eyes. I saw the fear of my parents and how those fears became my own. I saw the fears in society, culture, religion, relationships, standard, rules, governments, but most of all I saw all the fears within myself. These fears were ridiculous, yet I spent years coming up with logical excuses for them. For the first time ever, I was free and I knew that everything was going to be fine. I knew in that moment there was no limit to my dreams, and anything I dream and believe in I achieve.
I was no longer afraid of judgment, expectations, telling the truth, asking for things, my image and reputation, my past, my future, being alone. I was in the moment of now and that was absolutely perfect, I was perfect. I could see the perfection in everything and everyone around me. Life was perfect and I had been asleep to that perfection behind everything I thought I was supposed to fear.
I soon moved into my brother’s house and two of my children are living with me. I am happier than I have ever been in my life, every day is an adventure in turning inward and expressing that love outward. Something inside me that holds so much passion and love for the universe has guided me in this direction; I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. I know that it is all my will when I am inline with my true self and my emotions.
I asking for your story of courage, I am asking for your support in any way possible. Business advice as I do not know the first thing about running a non for profit yet. Financial support or ideas on finance, preferably financial support at this point. Spreading the word and reaching as many people as possible and helping me inspire courage in the world. I am asking that you unite others in sharing their stories that have inspired you in your own life.
I will be writing several books using a compilation of stories relevant to the fears attached to your story and the stories of many others.
This is the first step in Project Courage and I’m sure you are exited in the evolution that is about to come.
Contact me soon and let me know if you have the courage and faith to join me. One man can accomplish amazing things, but a movement can accomplish miracles. Imagine a world where everyone had the courage, love and determination to follow their dreams and live in the moment. A world where fear did not dominate and control. A world where love was the basis for everything we do.
Thank you.
