Courage

"At the very lowest time, in a moment of hopeless despair, when any effort at all seemed impossible, the word 'courage' suddenly appeared in my mind...With some magic of its own, it unhooked the last deep place of aversion and fear about what was happening that was keeping me separate from the experience. It brought forth the courage of simply being...Courage is not about changing anything o grasping for some better state. Its the valor of truly being present."
-Joseph Goldstein
