Recently, I had a fascinating conversation with someone who possesses a great deal of courage. He has traveled the world and ventured into some of the most dangerous places. However, the most challenging exploration he desired remained uncharted, until now…
(his story will come in another post)
People tend to travel the world to seek new experiences, a different and better version of themselves. They seek wisdom, fun, the opportunity to meet new people, and discover new possibilities. They want to explore new places, hoping to find something that will fulfill them and bring them pleasure.
“Individuals are inherently curious and pursue new adventures that lead to happiness, joy, and pleasure. With the aim to fulfill their needs.”
Discovering what pleases you isn’t rocket science. Most people have a good idea of how their desires can be satisfied. But having an idea and making it happen are two different things. We often admire people who have the courage to make their dreams come true, to share their desires, and to go for what they want without hesitation as if it were the easiest thing in the world.
Then many of us, not having enough courage in our skill set, ask ourselves, "Why is it hard for us to have such courage? How can I find it or develop it?"
I believe we all frequently ponder different types of questions. For instance, when it comes to courage, I assume many of us begin by asking why.
I often wonder why so many people wait too long to make their dreams come true. Why do so many people sabotage their happiness and pleasure with limiting beliefs and fear? Why do people wait until the time is right? What if it will never be right? And what if when you find it right, it will be too late?
"Don't wait for the right opportunity; create it." - George Bernard Shaw
If you feel a sense of urge, it is correct! Life is too short to wait.
Everyone possesses a certain level of courage that is essential for functioning in society. However, courage means something different for each person. For a traveler, climbing a volcano may not take much courage, yet pulling off stiletto boots may require an enormous amount of courage that he was not able to muster for years. The real question is not how to be as courageous as someone we admire. The question is, how to be courageous enough to live our life fully with no regrets?
Not having a healthy portion of courage to make the best of who we are and enjoy what brings us pleasure is a great way to sabotage yourself.
Was it the conversation I had with the courageous guy who traveled the world?
Was it a friend I had lunch with who encouraged me to share more of my life on my blog? Was it the fact that I discovered from another friend that someone I found very courageous, living a daring life full of pleasure, and with whom I had a chance to share a bit of recently passed away?
Was it the attraction to the courageous person I discovered this summer that made me feel that developing and strengthening this skill is powerful and life-changing?
People who express courage possess a certain power that can be very attractive.
Many of you often ask me for the magic ingredient that can help you attract the opposite sex who shares your passion, whether it’s for leather or anything else. One of the magical things is to have courage. Of course, I can’t guarantee your success in your mission, but with courage, you will go further in discovering what else is needed to succeed. Good luck! (or in my words, good work !)

You are asking for magic ingredients which are supportive to attract other persons. Beside courage as you mentioned I would nominate self-confidence, attentiveness, empathy, capability and willingness for active listening, serenity, respectful and appreciative behavior and honest conversation at eye-level., passion. With this mixture I guess we can be successful. As far as I can see you are possessing a considerable portion of everything. And it is my target to integrate day by day more of this characteristics into my daily life as well.
