Courage needs fuel.
No one can accomplish anything in complete isolation. The fuel can come from an internal and ethereal Source that feeds conviction and reassures the person of their path. Or it can come from the support of loved ones and mentors around you. Ideally, you have a little of both.
Even so, it does not mean that the path will be free of obstacles. You may want to quit, run and/or hide. You may want to take a safer route yet cannot find one. In those times, engage even more with the internal and external supports you have so they can help to fuel your courage.
Remember the lesson of the blossom in the snow—it is filled with ancient DNA and deep roots that mark the way of the path while also being called by the world to greet the giant sun and essential chemicals that nourish its bloom. Trust the process that leads to your blossom.
Inspiration for the Day: “Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.” –Alice M. Swain
