I just read that Winston Churchill said that courage is the basis for all other desirable traits. Actually, what he said was, "Courage is rightly considered the foremost of the virtues because upon it, all others depend."
I think in my case, it is the basis for what so much else is depending, and which I need to keep focusing.
Because of the courage I have been utilizing this week, I have made some great strides. But, I am already getting complacent. I have not been on the blog in a few days, and my remembering to be courageous is waining. I wish that I could tattoo the word "courage" backwards across my forehead, so that I see it each time that I look in a mirror.
But daily reflection and keeping my mind focused on being courageous is the only option that I have. If I have daily reflection, and ask God each day to keep me focused and courageous, then I can persevere and drive even more success.
Complacency is not in the definition for courage. I am still very scared, but somehow it is not having the physical effect it had on me only a week ago.
I am doing more, seeking out help, and seeing that the small things that I am doing are having having a small -- but noticeable -- effect.
