Wednesday, February 01, 2006 Courage (noun): a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear. How many times have we shrank from making a decision? How many times have we run away rather than face what is in front of us? Does it really take a lot of courage? What's merely required is the courage to be yourself, to take responsibility for what you do, to say "Yes, it was me who did what I did, no one else." To make decisions and stand by them, and see them through to the end, even if it was wrong, even if it'll be painful. Because you made the decision, and it was the best decision you could have made at that point in time, with no benefit of hindsight or clairvoyance, and you would not have done it differently were you given a chance to relive your life. Yes, it actually takes courage to accept that you are yourself, surprising as that may be. To live through life as who you are and not as who you want to be. To accept that you are not perfect, that you'll make mistakes and you'll tire. Everyone, for your own sake, please find that courage within yourself, to acknowledge that you are who you are. You'll find yourself much happier, more at ease with yourself, really. This goes out especially to those troubled ones, you know who you are, just read your own blogs. I wish I could help more, but we all have to fight our emotional demons ourselves.
