ICRAVE Character Over Fear

Your character determines who you are.  Who you are determines what you see.  What you see determines what you do.

Some people want everything to be perfect before they’re willing to commit themselves to anything.  But commitment always precedes achievement.

  • Heart is what separates the good from the great.
  • Nothing is easier than saying words.  Noting is harder than living them day after day.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. Live what you say.  There is not greater credibility than conviction in action.

  • Show up every day
  • Keep improving
  • Follow through with Excellence
  • Accomplish more than Expected
  • Inspire Others

A leadership position doesn’t give a person courage, but courage can give a person a leadership position.

  • Willingness to risk is having the power to let go of the familiar and forge ahead into new territory.

What’s ironic is that those who don’t have the courage to take risks and those who do, experience the same amount of fear in life.  The only difference is that those who don’t take chances worry about trivial things. 

  • If you’re going to have to overcome your fear and doubts anyway, you might as well make it count.

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.  I lived through this horror.  I can take the next thing that comes along.” 

Eleanor Roosevelt

Have you retreated so far into your comfort zone that you don’t ever even feel fear?

  • It will take a bold step from your today to reach your potential tomorrow.
