Courage

We love courage in action.  We love the very idea of courage.  
    Bravery
       Guts
          Valor
             Daring
                Audacity

Courage is a virtue. 

You demonstrate a certain amount of courage every day.
-You get out of bed.
-You drive on the highways of your town.
-You express yourself to another human being.

Carolyn recently held a talent showcase for her piano students.  Each student performed a musical score or two for the eager audience. 

Can you imagine the amount of courage it took for some of those kids to perform in front of their parents, grandparents and peers? 

… And every one survived the experience.

Love this …

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues
because without courage, you can’t practice
any other virtue consistently.”
~Maya Angelou

Have you ever had to face a creditor and ask for grace?  That is courage.

Ever had to stand your ground on a moral issue?  Courage won the day that day.

You learn that it is not the end of life.  It is simply taking a necessary action and surviving the outcome.

You gain courage by doing courageous things. 

A closing thought.
