Courage is best engaged with an clear mind and an open heart.
As we conclude our conversation about courage this week, consider Rollo May’s insight:
“The acorn becomes an oak by means of automatic growth; no commitment is necessary. The kitten similarly becomes a cat on the basis of instinct. Nature and being are identical in creatures like them. But a man or woman becomes fully human only by his or her choices and his or her commitment to them. People attain worth and dignity by the multitude of decisions they make from day to day. These decisions require courage.”
Today, notice where courage is required as you make choices.
The courage to express yourself, to love, to contribute, to create, to serve, to receive, to thrive, to imagine . . . to live a life that works brilliantly on all levels.
