Courage....

My Thought for this Day.......I awoke this morning with the word courage on my mind. No life is for the weak. You may think the person next to you has been dealt a better hand of cards than you, simply not true. Everyone goes through the slippery slope of life one step at a time. Here's the thing.....some do it more courageously than others. Some hold their heads higher. Some walk with more determination and strength. Some attack life with ferocity, not timidity. Don't compare your hill to others, for truly you do not know anyone's inner battles. We all spend way too much time judging friends, family, acquaintances and strangers, belittling our own lives with jealousy. Stop it!! Every moment you spend trying to live your neighbor's life, you insult your own. It takes courage to turn the spotlight on yourself, to examine your heart, mind and spirit in the gigantic mirror of inner reflection. But in the end.....we are left with nothing but ourselves. I hope you have the courage to be your own Alice in the Looking Glass.
