Courage

Courage is...
When doubts are all around, and say I'll still have faith.

Courage is...
Staring at defeat in the eye, and say I'll survive.

Courage is...
Not being afraid, when losing seems like the only option.

Courage is...
Saying, "If I survive I'll live, if not I'll just die... it's that simple"

Courage is...
Being able to say that I have just lost the biggest battle in life, but that all right,
I will live to fight another day...

Encouragement

Someone said, "A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success."

It has been more than a year since my last post...
Just could not gather enough strength to encourage myself to write...
Too many personal failures...

Life has been hard and the ride was bumpy.
There were certainly some good moments, but they were few and far between.
I fell many times, got up, grit my teeth and go at it again.
I was going around in circles...
It was I who needed the medicine that I dispensed...
Sometimes reading your own "encouraging word" may lift you up a little, but sometimes the words just fall flat...

Looking back, maybe I was putting on a front... and people around me didn't even have a clue what I was going through...
Nobody thought I needed encouragement... aah!

When things are looking down, one needs that extra push and inspiration,
what better way to show you really care than to encourage them
...

Inspirational words that will lift you up and move you to do the things you need to do to live a more fullfilling life...

But looking back, all that is needed is just an encouraging word,
a loving word, a smile, a friendly nudge in the right direction...

Just look around you, see if there is one among your friends that needs encouragement today...
Just say, "Cheer up, I am here for you"
or to a family member, "Things will be better bro, "

I look up today, and say to my Father in Heaven,
and say, "thank you"... thank you for being there for me...

thank you ...
