The courage within...
a liberating, transformative impetus.
It engenders growth and makes people
stronger. Courage is the antidote to fear;
it turns ordinary people into extraordinary.
It shows people who they truly are
and what they're capable of,
if they aren't sure.
Courage lives inside everyone.
Some are aware they possess it in spades.
Some don't realize or recognize it in themselves,
but it does speak to one and all!
It's within YOU. It's that voice you sometimes
hear in your head, or in your heart, whispering...
"Feel no fear, grasshopper, you can do it!"
It's a powerful, motivating force daring people
to attempt the unthinkable, to control and conquer
their fears in the face of danger or adversity
Some people can bring courage out of you, too.
Courage lives inside everyone
Some are aware they possess it in spades.
Some don't realize or recognize it in themselves,
but it does speak to one and all!
