Look, confidence is sexy AF and we all love confidence. Not the arrogant type of confidence that’s a cover for insecurity but the natural confidence that shines out of someone.
While confidence is considered a huge turn on, there’s a sexier quality out there.
That quality is courage.
Courage doesn’t mean taking on crazy challenges; cycling down mountains, bungee jumping or diving into shark infested waters but having the courage to face your daily fears head on.
It is the courage to commit.

Think back on past relationships and crushes, the people who you remember most were probably hugely courageous. The ones who wouldn’t be afraid to take on new challenges, to try new things or deal with something that scared them.
When you’re a child, fear of new things doesn’t come into it, children run into all sorts of situations without thinking about being scared. As we grow up, we start over thinking and putting fears and boundaries on ourselves.
We watch other people deal with daily tasks that scare us and wonder how they do it. How do they speak so well in public? How do they just go and talk to that cute guy? How do they have the ability to just go for something?
There becomes a point when you must stop over thinking and just go for it. You want to apply for that new job but don’t think you can? Go for it. What do you have to lose? Be courageous and try new things every day.
They say that you should do one thing every day that scares you, it doesn’t have to be something big.
Talk to someone you normally would be too afraid to, maybe it’s someone senior at your work, maybe it’s someone you see on your daily commute. Being courageous comes in many different shapes and forms, as the current saying goes ‘not all heroes wear capes’!

Don’t put limits on yourself, be courageous with your decisions but also make sure you stay safe.
If you’re scared of failure, think of this; failure isn’t in failing, it’s in not trying in the first place.
Imagine courage as a quality in someone else, wouldn’t you find it impressive? To see someone dealing with life head on, not burying their head in the sand. Not being afraid to take life on.
Next time you’re afraid of trying something new or dealing with a problem, just go for it! Not only will it improve the way you feel about life, you’ll come across as super sexy.
