<\/div>\n

Have you ever\nwondered how you could be more courageous? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever\nwondered you could have the guts to take action in difficult situations or how you\ncould become more at ease to take action when you should?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people\nwould like to be more courageous at some point or another. Whether it is to\nmake the first move on new people, to take control of their health, to build a\nsolid business, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courage is\nneeded to take action in a variety of situations. And everybody needs it, since\neverybody is afraid at some point or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets\napart the people who go for it from the others is their relationship to\ncourage.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People who\nstand still and struggle to make progress in their life usually believe that\nthey cannot become more courageous. They believe that their lack of courage is\nunchangeable. They believe that there\u2019s nothing they can do about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result,\nthey struggle to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it\nseems so difficult, they tell themselves that they\u2019re not built for it. They\ntell themselves that there should be another way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And thus, they\nrarely take action in such a way as to grow and become stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s a\npity, because those people could take action much more easily and with much more\nconfidence if they understood that courage is something they can develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because here is\nthe thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courage is\nlike a muscle.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The more you\ntrain it, the bigger and stronger it becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which means\nthat the more you take action in stressful and frightening situations,\nthe more courageous you\u2019ll become, and the more easily you\u2019ll be able to take\naction in such situations in the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And like\nweight lifting, training yourself to being more courageous can take time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t\nbecome so strong that you can bench-press 300lbs after only a few months of\npractice. It usually takes some years of training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve\nthis performance, you should start with lighter weights, and then progressively\nincrease the load you\u2019re benching, by adding more weight week after week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training\nyourself to be courageous follows the same principle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s totally\nokay if you feel that for now you can\u2019t take action in a lot of stressful and\nfrightening situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same\nway you would train the muscles of your body, you should train regularly your\ncourage muscle by taking action in more and more stressful and frightening\nsituations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By getting into the habit of taking action in\nstressful and frightening situations you\u2019re faced with, your courage muscle is\ngoing to grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will get bigger\nand bigger. Stronger and stronger. Day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you\u2019ll\nfind yourself able to take action in some situations you would have thought\nimpossible to cope with a few months before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s\nmore\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of this is\nbacked up by science:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you take\naction in the face of fear, your body actually produces more testosterone.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In other word,\nyou get bigger balls \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you can\nnaturally take action in situations that you would have found very stressful if\nyou had had lower testosterone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So get in the habit of taking action. Especially in stressful and frightening situations. Whether it is to talk to new people, to start a conversation with this person you find attractive, to stand up for yourself in a conversation, to do an extreme sport, to do something unusual that generates a bit of stress, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be\nanything. What matters is that it makes you feel a bit of stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understand\nthat you can be more courageous if you want to. It\u2019s your job to do it. So go\nfor it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
