Courage - Power Quote Series

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with R & D Art

One of the things that it takes to face today's market is courage. Many people lack this very trait when it comes down to it. When I hear people talking about it, I am taken back to the Wizard of Oz story and what the Lion learned about himself.

Courage is inside of us all and it is just something that has to be developed. I hope that you can find something in the qoutes below that will provide inspiration to you.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt

With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
Keshavan Nair

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
Ambrose Redmoon

Your current safe boundaries were once unknown frontiers.
Anonymous

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou

Thanks for the wonderful insightful thoughts. We are so quick to criticize, thanks for reminding me we all have good inside of us. It usually takes a hard time to realize it.

Danny ~ This is so appropriate for me this week. I have my Adult Ed class Thursday and while I purposely took on this obligation to help conquer my fear of public speaking, it always helps to have some words of encouragement to focus on.

Hi Danny, Courage, it sometimes comes without me realizing it AFTER I have done something I didn't think I could - like ziplining! I discovered you through Kath Passarette above.. Wow, you are near the beautiful Smoky Mtns, we have cabins up there and we love to come when they are not rented.. Hey, also I just wrote a blog about going to the Land of Oz, cool, love that cowardly lion..  God bless,

I needed to hear this!!  Blogging has me freaked out and somehow I am sure I am going to fail.  I don't know why as I built a very successful web-site 5 years ago.  Thank you for writing this when I needed to hear it!!

Courage in all things is important. The courage of one's conviction forms a central part of who we are. But those flying monkeys scared the living daylights out of me when I was young! Yikes!
