MANTRA
“Mood follows action.”
Rich Roll
A mantra can help keep us focused or bring us back to reminding us
what is important to us. A mantra such as, “I cannot always control
what happens to me or around me, but I can control how I choose
to react to it,” can help us control our temper or anxiety and keep
us grounded. A mantra when we are running up that hill, such as “I
am strong, I am strong,” can keep us moving and pushing forward.
A mantra such as: “thank you God for this beautiful day and all the
goodness it will bring” is a way to practice gratitude. “I am going to
be the best version of myself in this moment.” A mantra when we are
going to trial, deposition, or give a presentation, when our nerves are
running high, such as “I am calm, I am calm” can keep us relaxed
and focused. A mantra allows us to keep calm, relax, stay focused
and remind ourselves we are prepared and quite ready and perfectly
capable of accomplishing the task at hand, while keeping us within
our mission and value system we have created for ourselves. Repeat
your mantra when you are running or meditating.

COURAGE
“Courage is grace under pressure.”
Ernest Hemingway
“Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway.”
John Wayne
Courage is knowing the right thing to do and doing it even when it is
hard. Courage is the will and discipline to prepare. Courage is something
we are born with, but we must recognize the courage is there. We
must look for it. Cultivate it. Grow it. Courage is not arrogance, stupidity
and doing foolish things. There is a difference between courage,
bravery, and foolishness, we must recognize the difference. Courage
is standing up for what you know is right. Pursuing the right things.
Doing our best. Making good choices. Taking care of ourselves and
taking care of others is courage. Sometimes courage is not always
saddling up anyway and doing something, it can also be restraint or
temperance and not doing anything. Self- control. Courage is setting
aside your own doubts, what other people may think and doing your
best, no matter what. Courage is in us. It is in there. It may not always
feel like it, but trust yourself, know that you have the courage. Everyone
is scared, nervous, apprehensive, excited, anxious, whatever label
you choose to put on it. If you do not have butterflies in your stomach
or your stomach does not feel like a bowl full of jelly it means you do
not care or your dead inside. Take the energy. Take the excitement,
the “butterflies” and use it to your advantage to stay focused, do
something in the moment, breathe deeply and relish the experience.
You are well prepared. You are unique. You have the skill. You have
the power. You are plenty capable of getting the job done. Who cares
what other people think about how you look, your hair or whatever
imagined up fears or concerns you have? You have the power, and
it ought not to be wasted. Rise to the occasion. Banish all self-doubt.
Without courage we cannot practice kindness, honesty, generosity,
or truthfulness. Courage. What is courage to you? It means standing
up. Being resolute in what you know deep down in your soul is right.
Courage is not puffery, recklessness, or being foolhardy. Courage is
being prepared. Courage is not giving in to what others may try to
force on you when you know it is wrong. Do the right thing. Do your
best. That is courageous.
“Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is
going on when you don’t have the strength.”
Theodore Roosevelt
