I received a book as a gift once entitled, "Thoughts on Courage, Thoughts and reflections from History's Great Thinkers." In today's tumultuous times, courage is a vital part of our success. Here are some thoughts for you to ponder.
• Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
• There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
• The shell must break before the bird can fly.
• No one knows what it is that he can do until he tries.
• After you have done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. After 10 years, throw it away and start over.
• Without push, pull's useless.
• Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?
Remember that on Nov. 6, at the conclusion of our national election, we will all need to muster up ALL the COURAGE we can to conform to the direction the country goes toward. It doesn't matter what your beliefs are or party you serve, it is VITAL that you VOTE!!
Don't forget that JOY is not in things; it is in us, and FUTURE is bought with the PRESENT.
