Courage Under Fire
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." -John Wayne
We are witnessing story after story of Courage and Bravery in the Ukraine.
Courage is the ability to confront something painful, difficult, or dangerous despite any fear. Courage is a choice. A person feels the fear, pain, or danger, but chooses to persevere anyway.
Last week, on 24FEB22, two Russian Battleships assaulted a Ukrainian held position on Snake Island, in the Black Sea off the coast of the mainland.
Russian Battleship:
"We are a Russian battleship. We suggest that you disarm and surrender, to avoid bloodshed and unnecessary casualties. Otherwise, you will be bombed. Snake island, we are a Russian battleship, I repeat. We suggest that you disarm and surrender. Otherwise, you will be bombed. Do you copy?"
Ukrainian Position: "Russian battleship, go F*ck yourself."
The Ukrainian position was ultimately destroyed.
May the 13 Ukrainian soldiers rest in peace.
Could you imagine being faced with that dilemma? Would you surrender or hold the line?
Courage is a pillar of high performance and we often fear many things in life. A situation like this makes me realize that some of the fear I face in life are really inflated by my subconscious.
Much of what we fear is b.s.
We fear judgement of others.
We fear failure.
We fear if we do that thing and look foolish our reputation will suffer.
We fear the hardship of doing something new.
We fear that if we rise up to the challenge and do the work, our life may not be better.
High Performers look at fear a little differently and take action anyway. The world's highest performers act courageously in facing their challenges and in chasing their dreams.
This is what I help people a do as a high performance coach. I help people discern their real fear from the inflated fear, and then together, we formulate courses of action to overcome the real fear and execute the goal.
Courage Questions:
How could your life improve if you faced your fears?

Are You Prepared?
“It is better to be a warrior in the Garden rather than the gardener in the war.”
-Chinese Proverb
In this episode of the podcast I talk about our role as providers and leaders of our families to ensure that we are prepared during unforeseen instances and give you 5 strategies to help you become more prepared. This is not the most uplifting of topics, but it is incredibly important. So many people fail to adequately prepare for things that go wrong. It is our responsibility to recognize that things will happen and that it is our responsibility to be prepared to manage them. By being prepared, you are orders of magnitude in a better position vs those who are not. Having a positive outlook and hoping for the best is a strategy, but when things go wrong, and they will, this is not a strong position to start from when navigating a crisis.
Being prepared means having the ability to be adaptive and resilient to unforeseen events that may occur. There is not a day that goes by where you do not see a crisis in someone’s life. Crisis is there when you turn on the news, scroll social media, and have conversations with people. Crisis events occur with our health, finances, with natural disasters, accidents, and violence. The Chinese Proverb “It is better to be a warrior in the garden rather than the gardener in the war” means to be at the ready when need be, as opposed to being caught off guard. Do not be a victim.
