Changing careers takes courage...
"Only when we are no longer afraid, do we begin to live." - Dorothy Thompson
Mika Lees, Alumni 2009, who will be speaking to LTB's class in January about leadership courage, sends this special message as we begin the year:
As human beings, we are all courageous...everyday.
It may take someone to muster all the courage they have so stand up to speak in front of a crowd, to go for a job interview, to disappoint someone who is close to them just to be true to themselves.
It takes courage to be willing to share your life and be a leader in becoming a parent.
It takes courage to stand up for yourself or someone else who might not have that courage that YOU do.
It may be courageous for someone just to get out of bed in the morning.
We all face scary things that force us to be courageous.
We all face scary things that force us to be courageous.
What is courageous to one, may not require much effort at all for another.
What courage means to me is this:
NEVER be afraid to be yourself...ever.
What courage means to me is this:
NEVER be afraid to be yourself...ever.
Be comfortable with your company, when there is no one else around.
Try EVERYTHING...once.
Miracles happen everyday.
Don't look so hard for happiness that you don't recognize it
when it is right in front of you.
I hope that when I leave this world I have given more than I have taken. :)
Courage: From the French: Coeur - "HEART"
