How To Radiate Confidence and Courage

July 31, 2019 | Renée Fishman

Leo Season: Confidence and Courage to Be Your Authentic Self

This new moon ushers in Leo season. Leo’s mascot is the Lion, the confident and courageous king of jungle.

The root of the word courage — cour — means “heart.”

Confidence and courage come from recognizing and standing in our authenticity — being true to our heart’s desires.

Finding Your Authentic Self

The darkness of the new moon invites us to go inward, to look within ourselves to determine:

What is my authentic truth? Who am I when I am in my authentic truth?

Under cover of her darkness lies the opportunity to be radically honest with yourself about what lights you up, what gives you joy, and what brings you meaning.

Each of those things so much more valuable and potent than “happiness.”

In the darkness of the new moon you can see your own light.

What you are unwilling to see in yourself you prevent others from seeing in you. When you are unable to listen to your own voice of truth, others cannot hear you.

In seeing yourself and accepting yourself as you are, you open a portal for others to see you as you are and for them to hear your truth.

The days surrounding the new moon offer us the opportunity to see, hear and know the highest versions of ourselves.

When you create space to look within your own heart, to see the truth of what’s there, and to accept yourself as you are, you will find the confidence and courage to share that with the world.
