Courage

Courage – the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc.. without fear, bravery.

I am reminded of a recent conversation about the admiration that was felt for those of us with the courage to follow our passion. I often think of what could’ve been and should’ve been but I know that I owe it to myself to write a different script for my life. Courage is something that I’ve summoned on many occasions. Making a decision to change your lifestyle and become committed to healthy living requires monumental courage. Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. It often takes much contemplation and planning to take the leap to do something different. Just know that you do not need anyone’s approval or validation, but simply the belief that you already have what it takes to get started. Now that is courageous!!

Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
