What’s Going To Propel You Forward

"Consider your purpose; what you’re here to do. When you’re standing there looking down at the water about to jump, you have to know why you’re doing it.  I want to jump off the high dive because I want to be able to do fun things. I want to be able to swim. I want to be included by my friends. I want to feel courageous. I don’t want to be scared anymore.  Those reasons are going to inspire that person to jump off the high dive because they are compelling. What are your reasons? What’s going to propel you forward?"

Create Courage Within Yourself

 "You can choose right now to create courage within yourself. All it takes is the dedication required to apply the practices that follow on a daily basis. When combined with a strong enough “why”, there will be no end to the amount of courage you will be able to generate."

-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura

Every Time You Take Action

"Every time you take action, remember the rat and the swinging door. See that red light, and force yourself to stick around and find out that what happens. You will almost certainly find that whatever happens is not nearly as bad as you thought it would be."

-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura

How You Look At Fear

"You must begin this journey by finding a new way to treat fear. You have to change your relationship with fear. The best way to do that is to follow through with it. This means that you must look fear in the face and stand up to it."

-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura

Why You Need To Be Outside of Your Comfort Zone

"Almost anything that’s worth having in life – things that will inspire or fulfill you – will be outside of your comfort zone: excitement, passion, fulfillment, satisfaction, love, success, money ... attaining whatever you want probably involves some action that lies outside of your comfort zone. When you move outside of your comfort zone, you’re going to feel fear. The only way to really shift you stance is to start approaching the things that scare you."

-- Dr. Aziz Gazipura

Courage is Like a Muscle

"Courage is like a muscle: If you practice little acts of courage daily, you’ll be amazed at the power you begin to develop."
