Christelle,

You’re courageous. You’re confident. You know how to [do something]…

I quite often hear these statements when I say that I left France for the UK at 20 (while not really speaking English), I moved to another continent, I decided to set-up my own practice in a very different field than the one I worked in for 25 years…

But that’s not how I see it…

I see what I really, really, really want to achieve / get to… and I check with myself what I’m prepared to do (which generally means getting out of my comfort zone) to reach that objective…

Sometimes, I’m prepared to do a lot of “new” things, to get way outside my comfort zone (is that "courage"?)… but sometimes I conclude that it’s not “worth” the discomfort…

You can choose courage or you can choose comfort. You cannot have both - Brene Brown

How about you?

• What it is you really, really, really want?
• Do you want it enough to get way outside of your comfort zone? – choosing “courage”
• Or is your comfort more important than that “want"? – choosing “comfort”

Note: There isn’t a right and a wrong answer!!! But you have to decide, at least for now… And remember that, very often, you can get back to it in the future…

I wrote about this topic in some of my articles:

>>> No Role Models? And So What! Here Are 8 Steps To Empower Yourself Anyway!

>>> 5 Steps I’m Glad I Took to Empower Myself as a Young Professional

Empower yourself - starting with holding yourself accountable…
