Courage isn't the oak that sees storms come and go, but the fragile little blossom that opens in the snow. ~ Marie Frando

With or Without You, I Go On
With or without compassion,
Understanding,
Sanctity,
Love,
I go on.
With or without consent,
Support,
Favour,
A plan,
I go on.
With or without strength,
Courage,
Wisdom,
Serenity,
I go on.
With or without devotion,
Integrity,
Passion,
Tolerance,
I go on.
With or without adversity,
Perseverance,
Resilience,
You,
I go on.

I Am Me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically me because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me; my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me and I am OK.
~ Virginia Satir

Sometimes you need to hang on to someone else's hope, someone else's peace and sanity while your's is under siege. Do it. Courage, hope, faith, sanity, peace... they all come and go. Borrow them from someone else's supply until your own comes back in. ~ Linda Mundy

With courage you dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity. ~ Keshavan Nair

I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet's, the writer's duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honour and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet's voice need not be merely the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. ~ William Faulkner (from his Nobel Prize for Literature acceptance speech)
