It’s not easy being courageous and it certainly comes with a cost. Yes, courage will cost you something. I was reminded of this over and over this year. The moment I DECIDED to be courageous it cost me something. It cost me time, energy, effort, and sometimes sleep. It cost me old habits and unhealthy relationships. It cost me attention, dedication and my “Yes”. 

​Did you know that courage is a decision? You don't have to feel courageous to BE courageous. But you do have to make the decision to be. Join Dr. DeYonne Parker as she pushes us out of our comfort zones to boldly operating in our COURAGE Zones! 

I learned a valuable lesson from my Comfort Zone and I have to share it with you! ​

​

Courage is…Facing and embracing your “Why Me?” Moment. You will come out stronger on the other side of it.
​
“Why me?” is a question I’m sure many of us have asked ourselves and God at some pretty tough “You’ve got to be kidding me” seasons in our lives. Questioning why we were the selected party for this particular trial. 

It’s MUSCLE UP Monday! The day we challenge ourselves to get out of our Comfort Zones and boldly operate in our Courage Zones. I’ve been pushing you for years now to get out of your Comfort Zones but today I’m pushing you to go BEYOND  your comfort zone.

Courage is…Being honest even when it means losing something

When is the last time you had an honest conversation with yourself or a truth moment with a trusted friend? I mean the type of conversation where you get really real about those things you don’t want to talk about. If it’s been awhile then it might be time. Let’s start now.
​

COURAGE IS...Challenging your perspective to see a different one. 

Nobody likes to be wrong. Right? We all have an innate need to be on the right side of a decision or thought. But what if you’re wrong? Can you admit it and challenge your own perspective to see that of another? 
​This is where courage and humility come into play.
