Courage is within all of us.
We don't need to become soldiers or law enforcers or MMA fighters to show our courage.
Courage is within all of us. We are courageous whenever we keep our heads and not follow the crowd, especially those who sow - consciously and unconsciously - seeds of isolation, hatred, and division.
Personal Courage is seen when we have to be critical, yet not be arrogant; to correct - as needed - but not condemn. And to those who don't, we applaud their passion; and hope at the same time that it can be channeled toward bridging understanding among people even in our own small areas of influence.
And we are courageous when persist on walking on the right path, even as we stumble along the way, and wander off-track, from time to time.
