Have you ever written a letter to your courage? Have you experienced the unique relationship that exists between you and the elusive force that is courage? And in those moments of desperate seeking, have you ever felt that it betrayed you, leaving you wounded and questioning its very existence? If you have, then you know the depth of my words and what exactly I am trying to say.

I recall a time when anxiety and anger consumed me, fueling my belief that courage never came to my aid when I needed it most. In a fit of frustration, I penned a letter to courage, expressing my disappointment and declaring it futile to seek its assistance. Little did I know that the reply I would receive would shatter my preconceptions, altering the very fabric of my perception.

Courage, in its infinite wisdom, gently explained that it had never truly left me behind. It wasn’t being stubborn or indifferent; it was quietly waiting for me to recognize my own strength. It smiled as it reminded me that courage isn’t something we find externally, but something that resides within us all along.

It became clear that courage’s purpose wasn’t to rescue me from every difficulty, but to empower me to fight for my rights and protect myself. It urged me to see that I had the power to face challenges and embrace my own potential. Courage’s words shook me to the core, awakening a realization that changed my perception forever.

Now, I understand that seeking courage is not about begging for help, but about looking within ourselves. It’s about acknowledging the resilience and determination that lie dormant inside us. Courage is not a magical force that we summon, but a flame that we ignite from our own being.

So, my friend, if you’ve ever felt that courage let you down or left you hanging, remember that you are not alone. Embrace those moments of doubt and frustration, for they are opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Dig deep within your heart, and you’ll find the strength you seek.

Courage is patiently waiting for you to recognize your own power. Stand tall, fight for what you believe in, and never doubt the fire that burns within you. You are enough, and courage is there to support you as you navigate life’s challenges.

With newfound understanding and an unwavering spirit as I embark on my journey,  I hope and believe everyone who is seeking courage now, shall find it and discovery it residing within themselves.
