In all things we strive to achieve, we need courage. Perseverance is the art of calling upon our courage every day until we find the landing where we can embark upon our personal journey. Although we, humans, have similar basic needs in life like food, shelter, love, kindness, and a need for relationships, in many other ways we are unique. Drawing from experience, I find the most unique thing about each of us is the path we take to get to our journey and the path we take while on our journey.
Some paths, good or bad, are predetermined for us while we are young; a time when we are obliged to be on our parent’s journey, willingly, because there are no choices when you are a child – adults are in charge of our every path. Not all parents are skilled at determining which paths are rewarding, it is a struggle. Some parents hide the struggle better than others. Sometimes it is a friendly struggle and other times it is a troubling struggle to decide what paths will lead us to a peaceful journey. No matter what we encountered on our parent’s journey it is obligatory that we constantly call upon our courage to do what is necessary to ensure that we have a fulfilling journey. There are no do-overs in life, the journey is short, fast, and one way –forward!
I send you courage, and I would also like to know what gives YOU courage. Please share with me in the comments. Nothing lifts the spirit and feeds the soul like courage, this I know for sure.
