Bravery. Change of all kinds can be challenging as it means stepping into the unknown. 

Change means stepping out of your comfort zone which is difficult and uncomfortable. What if we didn’t change? Yes, we would continue to feel happy enough in our comfort zones, but that’s not where anything or anyone grows!

Comfort zones are meant to be stepped outside of every now and then to see what it is we must learn to grow and develop. Even stepping out of our comfort zone by one or two steps requires bravery. Some people welcome change with open arms, some are filled with fear at the thoughts of even the smallest change and some are in between the two extremes.

Whether the change you are making is personal or professional, whether it is big or small, whether it is something you wished for or didn’t wish for, all change requires bravery on some level.

Bravery is deciding to change. 

Bravery is taking action to change. 

Bravery is stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Bravery is becoming comfortable with the results of change. 

Bravery is doing what is needed to sustain change for the long term. 

When it comes to change in your professional and personal life, take a deep breath, be brave, be very brave and take that next step forward.

What could you achieve with more bravery?
