Do you have the attributes of Courage?
Courage is the quality of mind or spirit, the mental strength and the belief in yourself that enables a person to overcome difficulty or danger without fear.
The soul of your performance in business or personal life is really is about having courage. I’m not talking about “courage” as it relates to going into a war zone fighting for your life and the lives of those around you or courage to battle a very serious disease. In the context of business and life performance, courage is needed as to how you choose to better yourself mentally.
My own will to win by discovering my innate ability to supercharge myself with breakthrough courage and confidence has always been a recipe for success for me. Do you have this in you?
Sometimes you may get embarrassed, not by another’s performance, but by your own performance. How will you respond to this? Do you crawl into a hole and cry and dwell on what happened? Remember not to make excuses. Examine what just happened and immediately move forward with positivity in your mind. Take a failure and use that it to ignite future success. This demonstrates courage, leadership and mental toughness in yourself.
I’m inspired by others who have enormous courage to put themselves out there and Betty Cuthbert is one of them. Having had the experience of being a 100m and 200m athletics sprinting champion myself, I resonate with the enormous amount of courage that goes into training and showing up at the start line.
Have faith in the outcome that you desire😍
I’m forever grateful that I have my health and the freedom in to jog past many sporting personalities like Betty 👉 “Inspirational Golden Girl” 😍

Here is an extract from Wikipedia about the amazing Betty Cuthbert.
Elizabeth Alyse Cuthbert, AC, MBE (20 April 1938 – 6 August 2017) was an Australian athlete and a fourfold Olympic champion. She was nicknamed Australia’s “Golden Girl”. During her career, she set world records for 60 metres, 100 yards, 200 metres, 220 yards and 440 yards. Cuthbert also contributed to Australian relay teams completing a win in the 4 × 100 metres, 4 × 110 yards, 4 × 200 metres and 4 × 220 yards. Cuthbert had a distinctive running style, with a high knee lift and mouth wide open. She was named in 1998 an Australian National Treasure and was inducted as a Legend in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Athletics Australia Hall of Fame in 2000.
Athletic career – Betty Cuthbert, 100m final, 1956 Olympics
Cuthbert was a member of the Western Suburbs Athletic Club. At the age of 18, with the 1956 Summer Olympics to be held in Melbourne, Cuthbert set a World Record in the 200 metres, making her one of the favourites for a gold in that event. Cuthbert first reached the finals of the 100 metres, setting an Olympic record of 11.4 seconds in her heat (also her personal best), while the Australian world record holder Shirley Strickland was eliminated.
Cuthbert won the final and was then the big favourite for the 200 metres title. She lived up to the expectations and became the Australian “Golden Girl”. A third gold medal for Cuthbert came when she ran the final leg on in the 4 × 100 metres final, which the Australian team won in a new world record.
During 1958 Cuthbert set world records for 100 and 220 yards but was beaten in both events by arch-rival and double-Olympic bronze medallist Marlene Mathews at the Australian Championships. Later in the year, at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales, Cuthbert could only place fourth in the 100y and second in the 220y, again behind Mathews.
She set a world record at 440 yards, which was broken in September 1959 by Maria Itkina of the Soviet Union.
In the lead-up to the 1960 Summer Olympics, in Rome, Cuthbert set a world 220 yards and 200 metres record of 23.2 seconds in winning the Australian championships. At the Rome Games, she suffered from injury and was eliminated from the quarterfinals of the 100 metres. Subsequently, she retired from the sport of track and field.
Her retirement did not last long, though, for she returned at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Western Australia, helping Australia to a gold medal in the sprint relay.
Afterwards, she concentrated on the 400 metres, and she competed in that event in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, when it was on the Olympic program for women for the first time. Though not impressive in the heats, Cuthbert won the title for her fourth Olympic gold medal, beating Ann Packer of Great Britain in an Olympic record of 52.01. She is the only Olympian, male or female, to have won a gold medal in all sprint (running) events: 100, 200 and 400 metres. She subsequently verified her retirement for good after Tokyo. Also in 1964 she received the Helms Award for her sporting contributions.
