"... Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." ~Mary Anne Radmacher
Life is a study in courage. At least that is what I have come to decide. It's not the shouting, going into battle against all odds-kind of courage - although that certainly has its place. The kind of courage I'm talking about is the courage that relates to taking care of yourself. Maintaining your personal integrity.
It's not the showy, brassy-type of courage that inspires people into action. It's far more introverted... It's the courage that gets you out of bed in the morning and drives you to keep doing the best that you can. It's the courage of standing up for yourself. It's celebrating small achievements and milestones that might be insignificant to other people, but mean the world to you. The courage of recognizing your strengths and weaknesses.
