Its a brand new week dear Steemians, the second week of the penultimate month of 2022, and we are gradually drawing to the close of this year. During such periods, as is with every closing face of any aspect of our lives, most people will be engaged in stock taking✍ of all the events and situations that happened earlier on within the year leading to the space or position they find themselves now. Are you one of those who after stock taking is in a state of despair😰? Is there anything you regret doing or not doing? I'll be glad if we talked about your views in the comment section. Maybe you could have a piece of advice that will _**encourage**_ someone in such a space in their mind to pick up the broken parts of their lives and build them up into something more beautiful and even envied. --- https://steemitimages.com/400x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf23KnM5KTfv6eSg7HiYZvnk7znvs4KDynLrokGpML1LT/ca047c4248810708eec1858ef4a88fc0.jpg_{[Image Source](https://images.app.goo.gl/t1ZW51byvw1qLmtDA)}_{... to pick up the broken parts of their lives and build them up into something more beautiful and even envied} | |- **COURAGE**, i would say is an attribute every one should always carry along when faced with or struck by the *fear* energy; the fear of ecounter, the fear to overcome, fear in the face of adversity or uncertainty. To get more insight on the concept of *fear*, kindly visit my previous post [here](https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@tignoga/wednesday-motivation-fear). This is the power to be brave and to transform fright to ones advantage. Earlier on this year, you might have been faced with very trying times; maybe you lost your job, were involved in a fire or flood incidence, fell seriously sick, lost a loved one, experienced a divorce, failed a major exams, was rejected... you can keep naming. Maybe, after experiencing what you went through, you still have not mustered the energy to move on, to face life once again, and to you, life has ended or should just end. While you are sulking🤦‍♂️ and burying yourself in this self pity, ask yourself this question; *What is that lie in my head that is making me discouraged*? Most often, emotions dont communicate truth, they just communicate what we think is true. If deep thought is given to the above question, with an intentional willingness to get an accurate and objectve answer for ourselves, we will notice that the voices talking in our heads are just virtual and total lies, intended to maintain us in a state of lethargy, inertia or state of no action at all. Newton's First Law of Motion gives us great insight and the courage to break chains; >Every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. -*Isaac Newton* This is translated as such 👇 Every person will remain or stay in their current state of being; fear, laziness, inactivity, discouragement, lack of drive, no motivation, reluctance etc., unless they summon the necessary courage and decide to push themselves out and ahead in order to change trajectory or the status quo. Only when this courage is summoned and action taken, note that every thing is naturally made to stay on the spot unless another energy forces it to move. Now, you decide which energy you will allow to move you. You could decide to seek for counseling, attend a personal development seminar, read an uplifting book, read or watch success stories, talk to a mentor and above all, I've always said that we've all got what it takes to overcome, we all came with a manual📃 of operation each within us. All we have to to is find this manual and read it. Dear Steemians, thank you all for allowing me to carry you along once more into my crazy mind. I hope these thoughts stirred someone up, who is now about to summon up all the courage there is to pick up their lives from where ever they left it and to build up something that will be talked about even after they are gone. Don't forget to share with us your views and why not, a piece of advice to someone who might be in a state of despair. | |- Have a blessed day. *ACT WHILE YOU ARE APT*
