"Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
This past weekend I was watching some episodes of a television show and happened upon a little nugget that was hidden in amongst one of them.
In an exchange with two characters, one was telling the other that they had more courage than the other. They had the courage to be themselves. They had the courage getting out of bed knowing that they had to be themselves.
Of course the entire exchange was meant to be comedic in its intent, but there is a lot of truth in that exchange. Most of us are scared of being who we truly are. Afraid of what others think of us, conforming to what we think they find "acceptible".
Do you have the courage to be who you are? Or are you conforming to what the "world" wants?
"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared." - Edward Vernon Rickenbacker
