COURAGE

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
I Love this quote and i feel like it sums courage up in a nutshell for me.  Courage is something we must gain on our own.  We hear stories about how it has changes other peoples lives and how we must have it... but for me.. it really doesn't have an effect on me until you are at the other end of that deal.  To talk about courage we must not courage.


Courage is standing up to your friends.
Courage is asking that boy to a dance
Courage is taking a chance
Courage is being at the wrong place at the wrong time knowing something good will come about it.
Courage is something you have after you have already taken the risk; it's the will to keep going.
Courage is the FEARLESS of the unknown.
Courage is something we all say we have... but very few actually act upon it
Courage is the leap of faith
Courage is the will to keep going;
even after you've be knocked down.
