Optimistic. Selfless. Confident. Brave

I don't know about you, but anyone who makes a jump like that has to be Optimistic. Selfless. Confident. Brave.

Here is the full image in case you cannot view it as a cover image:

She's not even wearing the right gear to be up on the rocks, never mind taking leaps of faith like that!

(Think it's photoshopped?)

I don't know if this image describes "selfless" - perhaps she is a mother taking a leap to save her child? That kind of information would certainly give me a paradigm shift. How about you?

Oh wait, that may even be a guy! lol, even so, this person is extremely brave in my book!

Where Am I Going With All Of This?

As Robin Sharma says, "Change Is Hard At the Beginning, Messy In The Middle, & Gorgeous At The End".

Have you every noticed, that man has a unique way with words, I am convinced that he has artistic license with the English language no one else enjoys.

We Are Talking About Change

Resisting change is never a good idea, we know, deep down when change is necessary. As Robin Sharma says, change is hard, it can get really messy and we ain't gonna get to the gorgeous unless we get through the hard and messy.

Finish 2019 Strong

I recently wrote a blog about finishing strong. I am desperate to do exactly that! Tomorrow is Spring Day (in South Africa at least) which is a day for birthing something new, something fresh, something exciting! It's the day when I commit to words which describe my life for the next 4 months. The words apply to all areas of my life for the last quarter of 2019.

Optimistic

Have you every noticed how good things come to those who expect them? Not in an arrogant or entitled way, but rather in an attitude of optimism. I am optimistic about this final quarter for 2019, Spring will be "sprung" as of tomorrow, that will breathe new life into me, new colours, a freshness and newness!

Selfless

In our training we are advised repeatedly to offer something of value to our readers. To create our websites with helping them in mind. That is a selfless act. Of course, we are ultimately serving our own needs by building a business, but if we do not give first, guess what? That's right, we won't be doing any "getting" either.

Confident

We know that what we are being taught in Wealthy Affiliate works - we have access to members who are succeeding by following the training and implementing everything we are taught.

Yes, we can be confident in what we are doing, the lessons we are learning.

Confident of a positive outcome and successful result!

Brave

I just Googled "Brave" to see what I could find, and lookie here, this came out in May 2019, did you know about this? Should we be watching this space?

"Brave is a free and open-source web browser developed by Brave Software, Inc. based on the Chromium web browser. The browser blocks ads and website trackers. The company has proposed adopting a pay-to-surf business model in a future version of the browser. Wikipedia

MacOS, Windows, Linux: 0.64.75 / May 12, 2019; 3 months agoAndroid: 1.0.94 / May 19, 2019; 3 months agoIOS: 1.9.2 / May 17, 2019; 3 months agoWritten in: C, JavaScript, C++

So getting back to Googling the word "Brave" and not the noun:

Here is what I found (for some reason I couldn't access a link - strange):

Adjective: ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage, "a brave soldier.

Synonyms are: courageous, plucky, fearless, valiant, valorous, intrepid, heroic, lionhearted, manful, macho, bold, daring, daredevil, adventurous, audacious, death-or-glory; undaunted, unflinching, unshrinking, unafraid, dauntless, indomitable, doughty, mettlesome, venturesome, stout-hearted, stout, spirited, gallant, stalwart, resolute, determined;rock-ribbed; informalgame, gutsy, spunky, ballsy, have-a-go; rareventurous"they put up a brave fight"

Verb: endure or face (unpleasant conditions or behaviour) without showing fear."these six men braved the rough seas"

The synonyms are "endure, put up with, bear, withstand, weather, suffer, sustain, go through, face, confront, stand up to, meet head on, face up to, brazen out"

Ooooh, I am loving a whole lot of those words! I definitely am keeping "Brave" front and center for the next four months! Words like "courageous, plucky, fearless, adventurous, audacious, venturesome, gutsy, spunky, ballsy, rareventurous"

I am not loving all of them though - endure, put up with, bear, withstand, weather, suffer" I guess those are going to be the "messy in the middle".

So Here We Go Final Quarter of 2019!

I am ready and coming for you! Only four months to go, four months to finish 2019 strong!

Just to reiterate, here are my words for the final quarter of this year:

Optimistic. Selfless. Confident. Brave.

Do you ever think about the words you speak, the words you think and create expectations around? What are your words for the final four months of 2019? Are you going to finish strong, if so, how? I look forward to hearing from you.

Blessings always

Louise

PS I bought a buff today which has these four words on it, I've just noticed another two words: courageously and strong. ALL of these words apply and I will be sure to have them up in prominent places, a constant reminder of what September, October, November and December 2019 have in store.
