\u201cCourage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014Arthur Koestler<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Courage is like spotting a distant beacon of light while standing at the edge of a vast, stormy sea. Imagine the towering waves, dark and menacing, threatening to engulf and drag you into the abyss. The wind howls, and the water churns with relentless force, symbolizing the overwhelming power of fear. Yet, in the midst of this turmoil, a faint light glimmers far away. This beacon, unwavering and steady, calls out through the chaos, offering a sense of direction and hope. With each step forward, guided by that beacon, courage transforms the raging sea into a path of resilience. It empowers you to face the looming waves head-on, knowing that beyond the tempest lies calm and clarity. By not letting the fear of being swept away dictate your actions, you move with purpose and strength, inching closer to the safety and assurance that the distant light represents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cHave I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua 1:9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
