Courage
Thursday, August 17, 2006
I have noticed in my journey through life there are many who discourage me, but few to cheer me on. I already have to fight my flesh, which tries to tell me at times, it is not possible, I don't need anyone else to add to the fight. I only need to be encouraged as I decide to take the road less traveled, which I have traveled quite often. So for those of you who endeavor to do something which goes against the mainstream and requires a little courage, here is a quote for you from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.
To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson

This is SO true! We all need encouragement along th eway. ther is another quote I like that kind fo goes along with this..."Be kinder than necessary, everyone you meet is fighting a battle". Ain;t that the truth!
Dana,
I learned a really long time ago to surround myself with positive people. This means limiting my contact with negative people (family) and looking for those who help to feed my soul. (God inclusive)
This post has left me encouraged today !! Thank you
