Courage Revisited

Courage Revisited

Love this quote by Mary Anne Radmacher

Courage does not always roar.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice

at the end of the day saying

“I will try again tomorrow.”

Sometimes I win and sometimes my cheese falls off the cracker. 

Tomorrow is coming.  Tomorrow I get a do-over. 

Not all athletes won a medal in the Olympics.  I imagine that most of those wanna-be Olympians were hitting the gym or the sport of their destiny soon after returning home from London, with hopes and dreams of trying again tomorrow.

In one of the Rocky movies, the main character Rocky Balboa said this:

“Every champion was once a contender 

who refused to give up.”

These “champions” found it within themselves to face their tomorrows and try again. 

Champions were once contenders.

Are you a contender?

Maybe you can be a champion.

Face your fears.

     Learn from every loss.

“After all, tomorrow is another day.”  

(Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind)

Love this Steve Jobs quote. 

“Don't let the noise of others' opinions 

drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage 

to follow your heart and intuition.”

Ah, the “courage to follow your own heart and intuition.”

Pretty significant concept. 

So, if you get beat up, dragged through the mud, stomped on, put down, ignored, mishandled, misled, misunderstood, and generally defeated and deflated, just wait until tomorrow.

Become the champion who used to be a contender.
