The ability to keep living and being an example to others when you have a terminal illness like children with luekemia…they take many many needles a day and will always greet you with a smile even though they know they will die…
Courage is the ability to set aside all your pain and disappointments and still be able to open your heart and mind to another person and give them your all without hinderance or negotiations…
As an introvert, one of my goals this year is to build stronger relationships. I am taking salsa dancing lessons as a way to be more comfortable around women. However, there have been many times in my life when I have wanted to ask a woman out and have failed to do so. This happened again tonight and I feel terrible about it that I am not learning my lesson.
I probably asked out about a dozen women last year but they all went nowhere – some stood me up or cancelled at the last minute, some said no outright and some I did have a date or two with but it ended up going nowhere.
I want to have the courage to ask out women that I am attracted to.
I just felt like writing this out.
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
Courage is doing the right thing when the wrong thing seems to produce better results. Courage is looking past your personal goals and dedicating your life for the betterment of mankind. Courage is doing what you were born for, against the odds. Courage is leaving behind those things you value with the hopes that they will return to you.
Courage is taking the first step. Courage is getting up to ride again after a really bad fall. Courage is standing up for your future when your past keeps knocking you down. Courage is one more day…
Courage is something people with fear exhibit. Courage is also an attribute people erroneously assign to people who are fearless. One who has no fear can never have courage.
Courage I believe is the ability to be able to think outside of yourself…put others first…if need place your life on the line even for a stranger….
Courage is to the Hard Right over the Easy and Popular Left…The ability to stand on your principles and beliefs and not bend and swagger at someone elses conclusion or belief…
This peom gives me more courage ”
it gives my soul courage
to know
the impossible
is achievable
and i need
neither to be the strongest
nor the wisest
i need
only to be the best i can be”
Courage is the ability to look someone such as an ex spouse in the eye and say I love you…thank you for our children…
Courage is the ability to reach down deep and have intestinal fortitude knowing the odds are against you and even if you lose you still learn and grow from it…
Courage is the ability to look someone in the eye that you have wronged and say I am sorry….
WOW – great comments everyone on Courage! Love ‘em!
Courage is knowing what not to fear. Courage is when you are humble out of honor, not out of shame nor pride.
I am so happy to see someone who care about the children right HERE in the USA. While I care about children in Africa and Eastern Europe, I feel we need to take care of our own house first. Time and again it is proven that our own children will rise up if given an opportunity. Thanks for caring about “our own”.
I am so happy, Thank you for your work!
