What is courage? Why do we need courage? Courage is an essential element in order to live a fulfilled and happy life, for it allows us a sense of personal empowerment that is essential for making changes in our life. We oftentimes get caught up in the fear and the past emotional stories we have been living with.   It is hard to let go of our emotional blueprints, but if looked at as an adventure to our own personal development and investment in our joy then we have the opportunity to become more than what we thought we could be. We become heroes to ourselves, and our life takes on much more meaning.      We have been taught to think of courage as the fireman who pulls the baby out of the burning building, and that takes a special kind of courage, conviction, and dedication to life that is to be truly admired and respected. However, there is also another kind of courage and that is to be able to look deeply into ourselves and question the way we think and live.  Looking deeply into our own thoughts and behaviors is very scary indeed, and the hardest ‘work’ we will ever do in life.     Today, Ken D. Foster and Robin Jillian discuss the different aspects of courage, why we need courage, and some practical tips on developing courage so we can make the changes we want to make in our life that ultimately bring us much more happiness as we develop greater strength and courage within ourselves.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all are born with a sense of connectedness to life. Even as a toddler, you will notice how the choice for happiness is always in the forefront of needs. That sounds pretty easy, but why is it that we cannot maintain this sense of joy throughout our life?   Aaron McCormick and Robin discuss why we come into this life, and the soul’s purpose to rediscover its unbounded nature. We are born in a specific physical form and environment for a reason and a purpose. Life teaches us through placing challenges that we must overcome as a way of spiritual ‘weight living.’ Aaron explains that we need these weighty obstacles in our path to make us stronger and stretch us beyond our current self-imposed limitations.   How are they self-imposed?  Because we buy into the conditioning of our culture, parents, environment, and fears that the ‘gravity’ of life presents to us. We do have a choice on how to respond, but often times we don’t know that…thus the journey to your within.   Aaron shares with listeners about his young struggles and the wisdom he gained along the way. Robin and Aaron are here to remind you with compassion and love why you have the opportunity to live an unbounded life.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net
