The Lion asked for Courage

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear” Mark Twain


Life is awesome,crazy,sick,twisted, and always full of surprises. For that reason and that reason alone you should never feel the need to get comfortable at any moment's notice your life can be changed forever. Well what happens when it keeps changing and it seems it's never in your favor? LAUGH!!! Ya you heard me you better laugh like there's no tomorrow at the very least laugh in the face of your troubles. Because you see life will take you stomp on you, pulverize you and beat you into the ground until there's nothing left and your gone. See the Lion in the Wizard of Oz asked for courage. For what is a lion without courage, the two are practically synonymous.You need courage probably more than anything else. Courage is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, and or intimidation. It is one of the traits that will take you far in life and is also by far the most admirable. With courage you'll never be afraid of loving someone full heartily after your heart keeps getting broken. You'll never quit seeking for that perfect job. You'll never be afraid to be yourself. Because you see my friend it takes courage to do all that, it takes courage to get up the next day and live life to the fullest even though your heart is breaking or your bank account is empty. If you don't confront life to it's face you'll just be withering away and never will take your destiny by it's horn and have control.

I spoke to someone today that in essence changed my life!! Unfortunately we're not taught how to deal with who we are.. We go through life being so guarded and closed off and once we don't have that shield we're naked and get scared. We become so fearful and clingy and forget who we are. We don't act how we normally would and it sucks!!! We must take courage to be ourselves and expose ourselves and take pride that no one or nothing will be able to hurt us that bad. No situation will get the best of us that we lose the love of life.

I know your thinking but what about this and that and you don't know how I feel. Trust me I know how it feels all to well. I've been there and back. I don't think you can have courage without faith. One is like having legs and the other is kind of like walking. They need each other. Take courage to confront life's issues and set your standards higher. Laugh and enjoy life because we're on this earth for such a short time and nothing is worth missing out on this precious thing called life. I hope that you all will take courage today, tomorrow and everyday to live life and face it's uncertainties. Fear can do so much to you and take away so much. Don't let it. Have courage to confront it and it won't have any weight on your actions,life, and or relationships. Your much more stronger than you know. Don't let the world miss out on knowing this amazing passionate person who is Yourself. God bless.

“You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” Epicurus
