I have done a lot of thinking about COURAGE. To me, courage looks like a lion - fierce and strong. Or like a superhero - having special powers and wearing a red cape. Courage, to me, often feels one of the last term that anyone would use to describe me.
But, recently someone called me COURAGEOUS. And, I wondered what if COURAGE is something that even, me, a mere mortal could claim.
So I googled "COURAGE" and found these quotes that inspired me...
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
~E.E. Cummings
Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end
of the day that says
I'll try again tomorrow.
~Mary Anne Radmacher
Courage is the power to let go of the familiar.
~Raymond Lindquist
Optimism is the foundation of courage.
~Nicholas Murray Butler
So...maybe my definition of COURAGE is too inflexible... too unachieveable... too exacting.
And perhaps, I am courageous...in my own, non-super hero way!
Do you own your COURAGE?
