Let's Talk About Courage

3/2/2016

In this video, I discuss one of the four pillars of gratitude which is courage.

We need the courage to change, to begin to do something different, as well as, reach out for the support to keep doing this new behavior. Having the courage to change the things we can change—invites us to take risks and courageously try to change even when the idea of change may cause us as feeling of unrest—which is not a feeling of serenity.

As you watch the video, ask yourself:
What obstacles have you faced in your life which you overcame by being courageous?
Can you express gratitude for these moments of courage?

Well, courage is an attribute that unearths your best and bravest self. Every individual wants to craft this earmark. But one a few can make it possible. It is the integration of physical and psychological gallantry. There is a strong relationship between courage and passion. Passion makes a person crazy, and courage is what makes him able to follow his passion. A person needs to be courageous in order to endure the sharp tortures of self-discovery and to preserve in the face of adversity. Thanks- Scannell, for the enlightenment. Have a nice time :)

Like millions of people in Twelve Step groups around the world, Mark T. Scannell has had an intimate relationship with the Serenity Prayer. A decades-long veteran Twelve Stepper and former Roman Catholic priest, Scannell explored the origins of the prayer that has been a staple in addiction recovery since the 1940s. From his own experience and taking a closer look at the prayer’s deeper history, he has come to believe that this age-old prayer has a vital missing element. In The Gratitude Element, Scannell invites readers to take a new look at an old prayer and see how giving thanks is a natural and essential ingredient in an appeal for serenity, courage, and wisdom.
