By Tabasom Eblaghie, RCC
My name is Courage.
I am always with you. I travel wherever you go, silently and quietly in the background.
I live in your loving heart. Within your wise mind. Your strong intuition.
I gently hold your hand and pull you to move away from fear, its lies and bad advice.
I walk with you in your journey away from the havoc that worry tries to inflict on to your imagination.
I patiently listen to fear’s irrational and menacing dialogue, and inject my stories of strength and determination as a counter measure.
Listen to me. Pay attention to me.
My voice, at first, may seem small and weak. With action on your part AGAINST the advice of fear, my voice grows stronger and is clearly heard. And witnessed by others.
I come to life when fear is felt, but fear is ignored.
I am here. Walk towards me. Once you do, you will meet my friends, Motivation, Hope and Self-respect. We are eagerly waiting for you.
Every day. Every hour. Every minute.
Choose me. Choose us.
If you’ve been visited by fear or anxiety lately, counselling may help bring courage back into your life. Please call Tabasom at 604.889.3635 or email tabasom@generatehope.ca
