Courage

Courage - a word defined by those who take action. But not just to take action like a prince riding on a white horse to save his damsel in distress.

Courage is selfless. And even in the face of hopelessness, courage moves.

Courage is NOT to lack fear. Courage is to move WITH fear.

Courage is the mother, the father who raises the child with a disability. Courage is the child, the adult who rises above the disability.

Courage is not the spoiled adolescent who must drag up enough bravery to convince parents to buy the latest clothes, or car of their dreams.

Courage is a treasure that may still lead to tragedy. Courage is operating with that nagging voice still haunting you, telling you that you just may fail.

Courage makes itself manifest in those who die for what they believe: Martin Luther King Jr., JFK, soldiers, and even the unknown.

Courage isn't about popularity.
Courage gives.
Courage isn't convenient.
Courage hopes.

Courage is trials, tribulation, and fear mingled together with unknown strength humans often lack.
