It’s Your Time to Rise

by Dawn Damon

Because studies show that the transition of midlife for women, 40-65 is often a turbulent and unsettling time for women, my book is intended to teach women how to navigate the passage with confidence.

I will lead you through the “5 Fortitudes of fulfillment and Success.” These fortitudes are more than attitudes or good mindsets, they are the brave stance of a strengthened, resilient soul and spirit.

By definition, “Rise” is a verb that means moving from a lower position to a higher level, elevating, coming up, or going up. The word also means to awaken.

In arriving at midlife—the crisis of the crossroads—the invitation is for you to rise and shine.

With neglect to your fear, rising brave means you’re willing to stay fervently engaged. You’re willing to peel back the layers of the false self and come out of hiding. You’ve circled the same mountain long enough. You’re ready to shed old attitudes, bad habits, toxic relationships and meager mindsets. Mediocrity no longer defines you. You’re excited to set your true self free. Rising means you’re prepared to break through barriers and ascend to new heights.

But what if rising is uncomfortable?  

I hear the question, and I acknowledge your hesitancy! So, let me assure you here and now—you will definitely be uncomfortable. The opportunity to live authentically is not without risk. Rising as a bravehearted woman will require uncomfortable action accompanied by uncomfortable emotions. As I’ve often said, midlife is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage to honestly explore our current life and choose to re-invent.

Sometimes we’ll relate more to the cowardly lion. The dawn won’t always come up like thunder, but it will always come up. You can do something today to move you toward living from your heart. Take one bandage off at a time. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Practice getting comfortable with the uncomfortable. Recognize that feeling foolishly awkward and vulnerable is a part of taking new and higher territory in your life.

Brian Tracy, a motivational speaker who has written over 80 books on personal growth and development, says, “You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable with trying something new.” I want you to realize, however, that uncomfortable doesn’t mean unsafe; it doesn’t mean you’ve made a bad decision or are heading in the wrong direction.

If you feel destabilized, rest assured; it’s normal and temporary. Tell yourself often, “This step of uncomfortable but courageous action is awakening my brain to accept something new. That means I’m growing and changing!” Be excited when you encounter resistance—you’re challenging your brain to move past the safety zone.

So where are you being called to rise? In what areas of your life do you need to become brave and step out of your comfort zone to reclaim the life intended for you? My book will help you be transformed in five distinct ways.

The “5 Fortitudes” of Transformation

  1. Fortitude 1: Claim a Bold Vision. I See for myself
  2. Fortitude 2: Cultivate a Real Identity. I Believe about myself
  3. Fortitude 3: Choose an Able Mindset. I Think I’m able
  4. Fortitude 4: Craft Virtuous Talk. I Say what I want
  5. Fortitude 5: Commit to Excellent Actions and Habits. I Do hard things…

  • Shame Develops from Feeling Alone and Helpless

    Shame Develops from Feeling Alone and Helpless Matthew 26:50-54 tells us, Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and seized him. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?” Jesus tells angry Peter to stop trying to protect what God doesn’t want protected. We see the theme of Hebrews 12:1-3: Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
