Is there a big change in your life you’re thinking about making? Like maybe starting a business up, going for that promotion, or maybe getting out on the dating scene again? Maybe some of those things feel like the picture above, taking a big leap into the unknown – and you don’t know whether it’ll work out for you. It can be pretty daunting…

Recently we featured an incredibly powerful article about the late Robert Kennedy and his advice on having courage in the face of adversity and rebuke. Today I want to share some very simple, but powerful words from author and leader Kent M. Keith, that reinforce not only the need for courage but the need for us to dare greatly. If we are not daring, not taking risks, not facing our fears, then we will always remain at the mercy of them…

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favour underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Developing our moral courage, passion and conviction to do the right thing is what the world needs now more than ever. Here are some more articles on this topic which you might value…
