I am finding the courage to be who I want to be and go after the things I want. I am learning to take things as they come and finding courage to stand up for myself even if it means making someone else angry. I am learning that sometimes it's better to just keep your mouth shut and move along.
Courage is a funny thing. Sometimes it takes greater courage to keep quiet and to let the chips fall where they may.
When you have the courage to get through a major life issue, it moves you into a different direction in your life. I have learned a lot by watching a special person in my life deal with what could have been a life changing challenge. He did this with his head held high just about every day. Only a few days did he let the situation get the best of him. He moved along each day and kept going, even when facing the worst. Minus a few bad moments he kept courage in his heart and just went with the flow. He is now at the end of his challenge and he has grown so much as a person, and see's (ha ha) things so differently. He faced something horrible, he stood up to it, and he is a better man because of it.
