Wednesday Wisdom: The Essence of Courage

Hello Dear Friends,

Courage. What does that word mean to you?

Let’s reflect on the essence of courage through the words of the lovely Maya Angelou, who once said, “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.” I love that!

 

Embracing Courage

Courage isn’t just about heroic acts; it’s the quiet power that drives us to stand up for our beliefs, to speak out when it’s easier to stay silent, and to persist in the face of adversity. It’s the virtue that fuels all others, from honesty to compassion to perseverance.

 

Live Courageously

Today, let’s challenge ourselves to live courageously in small and big ways. Whether it’s pursuing a long-held dream, having a difficult conversation, or simply standing up for what’s right, let’s embody courage in our daily lives.

Remember, it’s not the absence of fear but the triumph over it that makes us courageous. Let’s support one another in small acts of bravery, every day.

With so much love,

Dr. Paula Noble Fellingham
