It Takes Courage

It takes courage to push past firm boundaries and place yourself somewhere you've never been... to let yourself be vulnerable... to dig beneath the surface and claim the desire of your heart... to allow yourself to hope... to trust. It takes courage to raise your hand and answer the question knowing there's a chance you could be wrong... to follow your intuition down a crooked path with no end in sight... to act... to change the goal and redefine your strategy... to say the words you need to say regardless of how they will be heard. Yes, it takes courage. But it's in you.

your words are true, all of them. and a very good reminder for those of us in the everyday routine of our lives.

"to dig beneath the surface and claim the desire of your heart... to allow yourself to hope... to trust."
