Stepping out of your comfort zone is no easy feat. When we know we want to achieve something great; we can sometimes become paralyzed by fear and worry. In situations like this, we must be bold to truly grow. However, courage doesn’t always mean the absence of fear. And bravery does not always manifest itself the same way in everyone. Developing your ability to be courageous is a lifelong practice, and Sharon Preszler knows a thing or two about that. She was one of the first women to fly the F-16 fighter jet, in a time when women were not as warmly accepted in the role. Sharon overcame her self-doubt and finally stopped worrying about what others were thinking or saying about her and focused on what she could control. Today, we dive deep into what it means to be courageous – because it’s not a one-size-fits-all for everyone. Sharon’s experiences will inspire you to rise above the naysayers, truly focus on your calling, and feel confident in your ability. Tune into this week’s episode to hear what Sharon’s life experiences have taught her about the true meaning of courage in the face of adversity. Click here to listen!
