Book cover for Coach With Courage
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
Pragya Thakur
Train your brain on what to focus on, what to interpret as important. We can’t feel equal courage and confidence in all areas of our life Fear only becomes an opponent when it becomes our focus. “…become afraid of earthquakes, tall buildings, desks, and donuts.” It’s as if the brain uses hashtags to group things - all these things might be #earthquake to the brain because of the simultaneity of occurrence.

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Maya Angelou
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou

Rainer Maria Rilke
“At bottom, and just in the deepest and most important things, we are unutterably alone, and for one person to be able to advise or even help another, a lot must happen, a lot must go well, a whole constellation of things must come right in order once to succeed.”
Rainer Marie Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Maya Angelou
“When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”
Maya Angelou

Rainer Maria Rilke
“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
