we often think that courage looks like

scaling mountains or leaping out of planes

~~~~

it might be fighting the fires of danger

or standing up for someone when the crowd retreats

but it is also opening the heart again after hurt or loss–or worse

~~~~

it is following a dream or risking rejection once again

it is finding a spark of hope in the darkness

or choosing to see the good in the mess

~~~~

but sometimes courage is simply just getting out of bed

~~~~

—no matter what your courage looks like today, it is worth celebrating!
