I was personally very touched by this inspiring story as I watched it on
television last night (2/27/07); especially after I experienced a life altering injury which took me 2 years to recover from.
What I want to ask you is...

you volunteer or help our returning soldiers who are recovering with extreme traumatic brain injury?
Here are some links!
Check them out, I know that my family will be searching for a way we can help!
Those experiencing traumatic injury may develop problems with their mental health.

Courage is
the first of human qualities because it is the quality, which guarantees all the others.
Winston Churchill
Courage is about embracing the things you fear in life, not separating yourself from them.
It's seeing what there is
to be done & doing it, in spite of the little voice in your head that says wait, stop, not yet, I can't.
Each of us is a unique & extraordinary being, here to bring a unique gift to the world. It might be:
- creating a loving family
- a book
- a way of teaching that lights up a classroom
- an invention
- a painting
- a new school
- a sports record
- an inspired child
- an organization full of employees who work
in a creative & supportive environment
Delivering this can be difficult
as it may fall well outside the norm, may not fit within your expectations or your family's expectations or may require support & resources you currently don't have.
Yes,
living your dreams takes courage,
yet the payoff is huge. The world desperately needs each & every one of us to live full out & realize our full potential to bring more joy, peace & harmony to the planet.
And still, you'll
have fears that you want to cover up & hide from the
world. Unnoticed or hidden, they stop you from realizing your full potential.
This buries the fear deeper & deeper, further immobilizing you, & keeps you from being the creator & designer of your
life. When you're conscious of how much you lose as a result of fear &
look at what's possible when you step thru it.
You can be inspired to great acts of courage. Getting
the support you need to do so is also an important step & can make the difference of staying afraid & stuck & moving forward.
"This seems eerily familiar to "IF" by Rudyard Kipling.
Actually it seems like the author
just changed it around & put it in his/her own words. Just thought you might want to know - read "IF" you'll see
the striking similarity."
So we found Rudyard Kipling's poem
"If"...
IF
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Rudyard Kipling
Courage The ability
to face danger w/confidence & resolution.
From the Latin cordis, heart. We say that someone who is courageous has a big heart,
especially when the courageous act involves the welfare of others.
While the presence of courage is always
positive, it's often found in compound w/ a variety of other elements, both positive & negative, such as when one requires courage to confess wrongdoing.
Courage can cause positive action. And although courage is usually noted in newsworthy actions, it's rarely noted in myriad
everyday acts, such as good parenting in an uncertain world, for which courage is mandatory.
Courage is thought to carry a stronger positive weight than the negative weight of its counter-opposite, cowardice, because it's known to prevail more often, especially when
one or the other must prevail.
Courage doesn't appear to be a cold, calculated decision to act, but a sort
of felt recognition of what must be done, out of a love for others or out of a sense of personal responsibility. The courage associated w/morals, if supremely well developed, can even lead to martyrdom.
Courage is one's readiness to sacrifice happiness
for an intenser quality of life.
George Bernard Shaw
God grant
me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.. Courage to change the things I can & the Wisdom to know the difference....
These words from the opening of the prayer are the most familiar. Even if you don't believe in God, these words can be a model for effective
management of stress in your life.
It's critical to understand the difference between things that you can change & things that you can't. We bring much stress upon ourselves by worrying about & obsessing over things that we can't change.
We also add to our stress if we fail to change stressful things that we can change.
Courage to change the things I can....
If you're under a lot of stress, try to identify the sources of the stress, which are called "stressors."
Are you volunteering your time working for a number of worthy
causes? As worthy as they may be, this is a source of stress that you can change.
You're choosing to spend your time this way. You can make different choices. Are you putting in too much time
at the office?
Is this causing friction in personal relationships or causing them to drift farther apart?
Here again you're making certain choices about how you spend you time. You can make
different choices.
You might only think of the types who climb Mt. Everest, bungee jump, or hike through Europe w/ just a backpack & a twenty-dollar bill as
the courageous ones. Anytime you take something on that scares you, anytime you do something in spite of fear, you're being courageous as
well.
"Imagine that there's something bigger than you out there, that you're a part of something magnificent, that you matter in the grand scheme.
Can you believe that your actions, your wisdom, & your heart can make a difference, that your courage to give can be part of the solution for a peaceful, loving world?"
Jackie Waldman
Courage
The modern meaning of the word “courage”
illustrates clearly why we have so much difficulty recognizing the positive side of fear. Let us consider some courageous
acts, Dear Reader.
A mother runs back into a burning house to rescue her 3 year-old son who's already
been rescued unknown to the mother who dies in the fire.
A grandfather runs out into vehicular traffic to save a young child from being
run over by a truck, but he gets hit & killed by that very truck.
Police, firefighters, other emergency personnel & other people rush up the stairs of the World Trade Center
towers here in New York City to help others as the buildings themselves collapse to the ground.
Are these acts of courage? Of
course, they are. So, what’s the problem?
The
problem is the deception in the current meaning of the word “courage.”
Would you, Dear Reader, think that in all 3 situations the people mentioned were afraid?
Did they confront dangerous situations?
Did their
