COURAGE
By Fion Lim
Courage is not only gifted to the few brave ones,It is something that lies within you,Where you can draw upon its strength and power,In times of crisis, fears and decisions.
Courage is not something mysterious or unattainable,It is something that you can exercise in your daily life choices,You can let it bring to you untraveled paths,And make you more conscious and aware of your life.
Courage does not have to roar to be heard,It does not mean being totally fearless and being invincible,It could mean taking actions, taking risks, taking a stand,Standing up for yourself, standing by your choices,And sticking to your dreams when others jeered.
