Finding Your Focus: The Key to Harnessing Courage

When it comes down to it, in order for us to act courageously—to feel truly aligned and empowered to make bold moves towards our biggest dreams—we must first get clear on what it is we want to create and understand our deeper purpose and the meaning behind what we want to do. Only then can we forge confidently ahead and bring it to life.

Without first finding this clarity and sense of purpose, we may have a whole lot of courage burning on the inside—waiting for a place to come to life—but we lack the focus to be intentional in how we bring it to life.

Or, as my husband put it this morning, “Courage without focus leads to burnout.”

Yes, yes, 100% yes.

I’m a person who often has energy to spare. I am often bubbling over with creativity and ideas and have no trouble taking action to create something tangible in the world. That means, however, that I have often spent days, weeks, or sometimes months bringing new ideas to life (specifically in my business) that were sort of outliers in the grander scheme of my work.

They didn’t tie into a specific purpose, so the ideas, while great and beautifully designed, lacked direction. I was pouring heart and soul into work that I believed mattered, but didn’t help tell a cohesive story and often led to crickets when I opened a new program or launched a new free guide for the masses.

As I gain more and more clarity about my own gifts and the people that I most love to serve (and with whom I have the biggest impact), my sense of purpose grows in strength, and my focus becomes even clearer about how I can best help people grow towards their dreams—with greater clarity, purpose, and direction.

Where in your life could some clarity and focus help you move into your next chapter?
