We are the embodiment of courage.
Yet, we think we lose it along the way. We search for it, strive to be more courageous in conquering our demons, look to those we deem courageous and wish we were more. We look to others and wish they could have more courage to heal, to persevere, to live.
We forget, that every single one of us is already being courageous! We already ARE courage. Perhaps we are not tapping into our resources or our birthright, our gift to the earth ; perhaps we feel we could do more, be more, if only.... if only we had the courage.
We are like the cowardly lion, who was so afraid because his fears told him he needed courage, and yet in every situation that required courage, he was the one who rose to the challenge. Because he was already courage. He just thought he needed a medal from a wizard , who was really only a man from Kansas, who turned out to actually be quite wizard- like. In his own courageous way.
So when we are feeling weak and unable to do what it takes,
let's remember,
We already are there. Every day. Everyday that we do, or everyday we seem to fail. We already are walking the path of courage.
If someone stumbles, remind them of this. It doesn't matter what they have done, or what they have not done. If they are here, at this time, on earth, they have courage coded into their cells.
It has been said,
" Courage is a journey into the unknown."
Well, HA,!
We have already done that, and we will do it again when we depart, and we do it every single day.
Whew! Now that we can stop worrying and searching, we can get on with our lives. Don't forget to reach into your "black bag" and pull out your courage. It's already there.
love to you always and all ways.
