Fortune Favors The Bold. Why?
To be bold is to be.

Being bold is an interesting concept. Based on one’s perspective it could be welcomed or looked upon as strange, weird, or unordinary.
Anyone who takes risks can often be seen as impulsive, especially when it comes to finances, creative endeavors, or relationships.
Why does fortune favor this kind of mentality?
Well, being bold is indeed a state of mind. It is a vibratory state—a state of being.
Having courage in the face of all odds is an unmatched display of trust. It’s not a show of bravado, machismo, or arrogance. It’s a show of willingness. The willingness before the challenge has even presented itself to endure no matter what.
When taking risks, most believe following the beaten path is safer. With good intentions, a “safety comes first” mentality is activated. The unknown is often seen as having a greater probability than what’s known. Even if it could be manageable, simple, a quite easy to overcome. It’s also a “you don’t know what’s out there” mentality. Keeping you in a cave afraid of what’s outside.
Those who are bold are the heroes spoken of the world over in mythologies. Those who are unafraid of the consequences of finding their dreams. Knowing there has to be something more than what’s known.
Fear is what keeps most from following their dreams, their intuition, and the call from their innermost core. Facing your fears is what makes them cease to exist. As long as you think of them as a force with any power, they will continue to have dominion over you. Why? Because you give it to them.
To be bold is to be who you are. What will get done will get done and I will be at the front. I am the decision maker. I take full responsibility for my actions, no matter the consequences.
Boldness does not just rule over big decisions. Everyday choices are opportunities to exercise this mindset and activate this energy.
As stated before, boldness is a state of trust in oneself. This trust is what attracts the fortune. To trust yourself in any circumstance deserves a reward. When you vibrate at a certain frequency, you attract what resonates with that frequency. You are actively making the situation and circumstance fortuitous for yourself. Even if it’s new, even if it’s scary, even if it makes your chest tight while going through it. The act of doing it anyway is what makes your endeavor worthwhile.
Trust that your needs will be met.
Trust that you will find fulfillment in your journey.
Trust that your pure intention will not return to you void.
Be bold. Boldness attracts life. Boldness initiates change. It brings death to the old and creates life anew. Even if an action may not seem bold, if it causes you to face yourself and take control of your reality, you’re embodying it. Whether it be in the pursuit of knowledge, improving a relationship, starting a new habit, whatever. Be bold to the best of your ability.
