#AugustWritingChallenge - Courage - Day 24


I'm currently reading the original Wizard of Oz series. Today's theme reminds me of the cowardly Lion who desperately wanted courage from the Wizard. What we notice is that the Lion always had courage.

The Lion’s problem was that he thought because he felt fear that he had no courage. That’s not true. Courage is action in the presence of fear. The Cowardly Lion teaches us two lessons: (1) we cannot let fear stop us from doing what we have to do and (2) you don’t have to feel courageous in order to be courageous.

I would hope that in my life I will able to put aside my fear and continue down the path that I am destined to travel.
