The bridge from doubt to courage must be crossed

The bridge from doubt to courage must be crossed



It’s the bridge we all need to cross, whether we are writers or leaders. The first steps are the hardest; those that make you vulnerable, and humble, and willing to admit that you need to walk together with others.

These are the very experiences that allow us to make a difference in this world, and we need leaders who will do that.

So start crossing that bridge. Open your heart, ask for and accept other’s help. Let them know that you are human, that you can’t lead alone. Invite their opinions, ideas, and criticisms with equal enthusiasm.

What’s stopping you from taking that first step? If you open up enough to realize that leading others is just a slice of the life you’ve been meant to live along with others, you’ll make it to the other side of that bridge with grace. The world awaits your strong, courageous leadership.
