Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat

Francis Quarles once said, ~Necessity of action takes away the fear of the act and makes bold resolution the favorite of fortune.~ If you think about it, throughout life we're given the opportunity to take the initiative in stepping up and be bold in hopes of gaining fortune. Granted, it doesn't necessarily refer to the financial aspect of it even though an individual may profit, in a manner of speaking, in taking a risk knowing there may be a chance of failing. For it's a risky situation indeed in being able to boldly face the fear of the unknown in regards to friendships, career, and not to mention relationships. What it primarily comes down to is having that bold determination in taking the first step in the possibility of potentially forever changing the directional course involving your very own future.

Without a doubt, when it comes to your own group of best buds/gal pals one can most definitely be considered in some ways massing a fortune. Unfortunately, having all that kind of wealth in regards to your inner circle of friends can at times become a considerable headache rather than an absolute privilege. True, the decision to sever ties with a particular friend or number of friends in order to positively move forward for sanity sake in order to alleviate the insurmountable negative stress metaphorically weighing down on you is certainly a bold one to even consider, especially the length of said friendship(s). Hey, it's a difficult task to undertake for any individual to experience a far less stressful, drama free life whereby profiting from it with some much needed peace of mind as it pertains to the friends each of us deal with.

As said before, life gives us the opportunity to step up and be bold in hopes of gaining fortune. Of course, a sense of fear when boldly seizing your chance and possibly taking your career to the next level wherever it may be going The fear of the professional unknown in either starting a whole new career path altogether or seeking a higher level position is truly scary and at the same time exciting. Why? On one hand, you're taking a professional leap of faith not really knowing if it will work out and end up failing completely whereas if you actually succeed in accomplishing what you've been focusing on then it will literally, as well as figuratively pay off immensely. Essentially, it's just a matter of using the fear, excitement, and every other mixed emotion to your advantage to prove to yourself rather than proving it to others it can be done.

Let me ask this question to those who made or are making bold strides in rebuilding their lives after walking away from a relationship that sorely needs/needed a fresh new start. I think it's safe to say there are a number of those living the single life who have gone/are going through their fresh new start and even though it has been quite difficult to stay positive they're gradually moving on slowly but surely. Oftentimes, the pangs of feeling lonely come into play causing one to become affected personally, mentally, emotionally, and sometimes spiritually as well. Fortunately, if you have the close support of family and close friends along with focusing on the health/well-being of your children all-the-while making bold steps to improve your way of life then you're rich beyond your years despite the lack of financial stability.

In retrospect, the action to make any or all bold moves in every aspect of life has the propensity to lead to in all intents and purposes a blessed, well rounded life you're richly deserving of. For the most part, those aforementioned bold moves, whatever they may be for you, won't have instant results right away as it will take tremendous amounts of time and patience to attain the fortune you seek whether it's financial or otherwise. You see, it's seemingly easy to start the process, but the hard part is bravely staying the course knowing full well there will be obstacles to stop you. Ultimately, adapt to obstacles so you won't find yourself losing the meaningful fortune you've worked so hard for. In the end, take heed the following 3 word Latin phrase that's translated fortune favors the bold: Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat.
