Courage

"Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house.  The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody 's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you are misunderstood. " - Charles Swindoll

Having mastered the art of hearing no evil, it takes courage to carry on.  A lot of other forces both internally and externally might make you scared. It is perfectly normal to feel that way as this is the lubricant that urges you to take the positive route. Always look at the bright outcome of what will come forth for moving that way. Imagine you are already on the other side of the insurmountable hurdle facing you. What am I trying to put across?  I want you to imagine a task ahead where you want to climb that highest mountain and you are not alone in that quest. After preparing for that challenge ahead, envision yourself right on top of that mountain where you register your name for having accomplished a mission which would otherwise be impossible. Feel the relief,  joy,  and any other 'feel good' emotion that comes with it. That, my friends, is what I call courage extraordinaire. I have used it numerous times as a survival tactic and it has never let me down. I continue using it. Why can't you?

Until we meet again,  dare to be courageous!
