Courage

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." (Mary Anne Radmacher)

It is so easy to discount trying. To not appreciate the fact that although you have tried to do something and it may not have worked, that there is a part of you willing to attempt it again. In a moment, you can give up a dream. When you give up your dreams you give up a part of what you believe that makes you feel like your life has hope, purpose and worth.

When you are tempted to stop. To give up. To give in. Take a walk...breathe deeply, go find some poor, innocent stranger and as you walk by them - smile as wide as you can.

Be the stranger in your life who believes in you. Think about that phrase. Become able to step outside of yourself and to find belief based solely on what you sense off the unknown.

And then go on.
