Courage

Courage.   Whenever that word is breathed one automatically builds an image of strength and other personnaly motivated factors.

It is often related to internal strengths to utilize and exploit, and hopefuly overcome professional or personal challenges often of size and importance. 

Sometimes we weaken to the opposite forces.  Hopefully not to often.

In my last office I had a great motivational picture hanging on the wall.   It was an interesting picture but the caption underneath was just as important, talking about integrity and courage.   It hung on the wall directly across from my desk.  A great motivator throughout the day.

Here is an interesting article on courage.    Courage to Lead in Uncertain Times

The Wave of Overwhelm-ment

How do you respond to new challenges of a new job or new project?  Do you let the 'unknowns' roll off you or do you succumb to frustration?
