How much courage does it take simply to get out of bed every day? For many it will be the hardest thing they do. More than hope, more than desire, it is the courage to live that makes everyday people so extraordinary. You don’t have to be a hero to be courageous. It’s a smile, a hug, a pat on the back when someone is hurt. It takes courage to reach out to others in love and compassion. In today’s world of instant gratification true connection happens when you listen instead of looking for the next big thrill. Every moment is precious.
