COURAGE NUGGET

Before I can have courage for tomorrow, I must have it for today.

Each day we can choose to be courageous. Courage is like a door where there’s not a door handle on the outside, but on the inside. It’s a door that I can only open by turning the knob. I CHOOSE TO BE COURAGEOUS. Courage sometimes is the little voice that says, “I will try again tomorrow”.
