Hi Gleb,

Wow you leave me touched and inspired. Courage today for me is to push past my fears, realising my fears but still not letting it stop me from achieving my goals

Great share.

Coming from a background of being a Pediatric Nurse I missed out on a lot of things because of my limiting beliefs about myself and what i was capable of. When I started doing personal development I began to see that my results were a direct reflection of the thoughts and actions I took.

I really dove into this type of thinking and started to realize I had limiting beliefs that were holding me back from creating this life I said I wanted. I am truly living a life I love now. I now run my own business and get to spend everyday with my husband and daughter. And it is something I would not have accomplished if it was not for moving past those beliefs that tell you you dont deserve more or your not capable of more. For me, its all about taking the actions to transform my limiting beliefs into ones that moved me forward in life, not hold me back.

Thank you very much Gleb for bringing this article, while I was reading this article I just went back to my past life and remembered what had happened and how better should I have handle it.

Hi Gleb
Really great blog – terrific finding the courage to start afresh in a new country. Also a great opportunity to redefine yourself – I know many people who feel they get trapped being in an environment with lots of old associations and making a move can be really empowering.

I wondered what for ie stands. Ireland. What a topic you brought up here and what a wonderfully interesting blog this is. There were times in my life I needed encouragement, but usually I was/am just facing what I am afraid of. I know too many people you might need every bit of encouragement. With 18 I went criss-cross Western Europe with my little new car. To the surprise of many nothing bad has happened. Of course not as I did not await anything bad to happen. Twice I got lost in a mountain area in the night, everything around me was dark and was afraid to run out of gas, but did not. When I was a teen I wanted to live in the US, at least for some time. I was 36 when I almost had a hard attack. When I came back from the hospital I decided to start to fulfill all my wishes, one at a time. I packed and moved to the US without any preparation.. I stayed for 7 years. To have courage is great as otherwise I would have missed out too much in life.

Wow! An inspirational story for sure!!!
The bravest thing I have done was jump out of a plane, but thinking about now, I think it kinda pales in comparison to your bravest moment

Hey Gleb.
I just discovered your blog today and read this post, even though it is a couple of years old. I have similar experiences, having moved over to sweden 8 years ago, and recently moved back to london again.

I think it is inpiring to see how dedicated you were to your goal and how you made it happen where a lot of people give up at the first hurdle.

Courage grows with every challenge we negotiate, and we are adding to our personal development bank.

Courage is an important virtue we must incorporate into our life, especially upon our personal growth. Without courage we cannot claim what is rightfully ours in this life. :-)

You are right, success is usually a decision away. Like you said, I would rather have tried and failed than to have never tried and speculate what could have happened if I did. More over, we can learn a lot from our failures and change direction to what works. If you dont try, how do you know what works?

That’s a great story, Sam!

Love the last line of your comment, and totally agree with it: we can be, do and have whatever we want – it’s all about us making the right decision and following through.

Awesome,

You know what, I can relate to your story. 8 years ago I move from Africa to the US because for some reason I thought I would turn my dreams into reality quicky. And boy was I right. I wouldnt have said this a year ago after what I have gone through to get where I am but after failing to get a job last year with a finance degree on my hands, I stumbled on an incredibly awesome opportunity that is bringing so much joy in my life. So…… ya! some times we need to take those leaps of faith and just follow that internal guidence system. We can be, do, and have all we want if we set our mind to it.

Thanks for your comment, Dwight! I like to think that it’s better to attempt something and possibly even fail rather than feel sorry for not even trying.

Really liked your article Gleb, you fooled me on your English. If i didn’t know better, I would have said it was your first language.

Yes, it’s hard to make the first steps to change and I remember this in my own life. I am reminded by the old saying “A journey of 1000 Miles starts with a single step”. Keep up the good posts.

The bravest thing I ever did was admit to myself, God and a very close friend that I had a problem with alcohol. Within a few days of admitting the problem I was in a wonderful rehab center and getting back on the path of a productive life. On 2/17/09 I celebrate 2 years of sobriety and my life has never been better!!
Remember growth has pain associated with it, but in my opinion the pay offs are worth it!

Hi Gleb! I am really impressed by your English. You are very fluent and you know the right grammar. You are doing great! About the life that you started from scratch in Ireland, man I salute you! Not many people can do that in a foreign place. I am always a fan of personal development. What you learned can never be taken away from you. As Robert Kiyosaki says

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire, the size of your dream, and how you handle disappointment along the way.”

Cheers,

Roberto
