While we can’t always reach for a little liquid courage, when we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations we can rely on our past experiences and confidence in our abilities to navigate our way through the ambiguity of the situation.

Exploring the French countryside last weekend was uncomfortable in a lot of ways. The French have a certain way to do everything. And if you don’t do it that way they let you know.

But once you push past that initial discomfort, and transcend your comfort zone, that’s where the going gets good.

I’ve found just having a little courage to ask a question, stop at the place that catches your eye, or not worry about making a mistake opens you up to a whole new host of growth and creates opportunities to peel back some layers of the people you find yourself in those situations with.

That’s real courage. Taking chances failing daily so you can learn from them.

While champagne helps you take that first step, if you don’t have courage to stay uncomfortable you may easily take two steps back into your comfort zone.

But like any other skill, we can train ourselves and cultivate our courage, and our ability to not only operate in uncomfortable situations, but to enjoy it and thrive in it.

We can create our own form of liquid courage, take more risks, and get more comfortable with the uncomfortable.
