Be Courageous

The formula starts with courage, and that is the courage to face whatever difficulty you are having in your life, to pause, to get curious, and ask how is this going to help me grow, what am I going to learn from this, how am I going to be strengthened by this situation. Of course, Jesse showed us a tremendous example of courage when he stood up to the shooter who had just murdered his principal and guidance counselor right outside of his classroom door and then turned to come into Jesse's classroom. He killed his teacher, who was standing right behind him, and then his gun ran out of bullets. During the short delay, Jesse directed his friends to run, and he is credited with saving many of their lives. So we talk about that courage, that example of courage, that is the capacity for courage that every single one of us has. He was a six year old little boy. Think about that. We all have that capacity, and that is the capacity to stand up and face difficulty, uncertainty, doubt, and feeling like we are not worthy.
