Have Courage

I recently purchased a new Kate Spade bag and it arrived at my office during a particularly bad day at work. Finding the package waiting for me on my desk was enough to brighten my day, but it got even better once I opened it and examined the silky material, the shiny leather, and all the wonderful little details. I almost missed the zipper pull on the top, but the gold lettering caught my eye and I read what it said:

HAVE COURAGE
Courage is something I feel like I desperately need these days. I keep telling myself that I need to make decisions, but that isn't the case. I've decided what I should do, I just need to find the well, courage to act on it. I'm trying to find it.

What gives you courage?

Some courage-related quotes that I find inspirational:


"Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark." -George Iles
...
"Courage is grace under pressure." -Ernest Hemingway
...
"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up." -Paul Valery
...
"Where there is no struggle, there is no strength." -Oprah Winfrey
...
"Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." -Joseph Campbell
...
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back." -Maya Angelou
...
"The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure." -Sven Goran Erikkson
...
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" -Mary Ann Radmacher
...
"Promise me you'll always remember. You're braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." -Winnie the Pooh
