Summary:
For the very first time Finding Inner Courage (previously titled Facing the Lion, Being the Lion) is available on audio and can coincide using its trade paperback reissue and the audio release of The Book of Awakening.
Finding Internal Courage is an exploration into how to find our way to our core, to the stand by position our core, also to then maintain the practice of living from our core-to live away of our courage. To encourage methods to impart strength and self-confidence, to encourage and hearten. So, the question about Finding Inner Courage unfolds: Just how do we encourage ourselves, one another, and the globe? And precisely what does it mean to live a life of encouragement?
If to look for our way to our core is to handle the lion, after that to stand by our core is usually to be the lion. Also to maintain the practice of living from our core-to live out of our courage-is to discover our way in the globe by tracking inner courage and where it lives. These notions body the journey of the book.
The courage we all admire, where ordinary people summon unforeseen strength to run into burning buildings or even to endure tyrants, whether an abusive father or an abusive leader, this inspiring and mysterious impulse to go up to a dangerous situation, which Hemingway referred to as grace under pressure, grows from another kind of courage-inner courage. These are the means of living and being that make bravery possible in the first place; not just as a meeting, but as an approach to life, as a means of life.
Thinking about courage in this manner opens us to a range of little and constant attempts that nobody ever sees, but which have changed the world: the courage to handle ourselves, each other, and the unknown, the courage to find out, to feel, to simply accept, to heal, to become. Efforts of this nature often proceed undetected and unrecognized. Just like the courage to break life-draining patterns and let the story of our lives unfold, to stand by one’s core, also to persevere through the doorway of nothing at all into the realm of everything. Just like the courage to choose compassion over common sense and love over fear, to withstand the tension of opposites, and to give up what no longer works in order to stay near what’s sacred.
