Courage to Change

I can't forget a big part of knowledge attainment is courage. I am beginning to learn that groundbreaking learning comes with an emotional price. Innovation and wisdom challenges people to step into unknown areas. I am finding out that this can be both scary and exhilarating at the same time.

I have a deeper appreciation for those ground breaking thinkers that had the audacity to believe that the non existent was possible. Learning and growing must eventually tread upon emotional terrain.

Our ideals, paradigms or views of the world reside at this deeper level. These constructs are the source from which behavior flows.

Change these and you change your world. When expanding ,growing and innovating I must expect and be prepared for the emotional rush. Learning is not a purely intellectual exercise.

I am interested to know:

-What experience have you had the challenged you both intellectually and emotionally?

-How did you handle it?

Emotional resilience is a necessary component of success. Emotional resiliency allows one to learn from mistakes and adjust the approach. It is an overriding belief in success that turns obstructions in the road, into building blocks to future success. A true leader is well aware of the fact that the difficult in not synonymous with the impossible.
