courage
I believe everyone has courage deep inside them. Fear and stress tend to smother it. To say it simply, I feel like the lion in "Wizard of Oz". He gained his courage as well as his confidence, and no longer feared everything. He did not go back to the way he was because he realized how beautiful life is without fear and stress. I truly believe my new found courage will guide me to the place I want to be.....the place that brings me joy and comfort.
