Courage

Courage is not a competition.
There are no winners or losers.

Courage is not comparative.
It’s not whether you have more
than the next person.

Courage is how you face
your particular challenges.
It’s how you deal with
what life throws your way.

Courage is crying and anger
and failure and heartache.
Courage is coping and surviving
when all seems lost.

You have no more or less courage
than your neighbor.
We are all only human.
