Courage

YOUR REAL COURAGE SHOWS BEST IN THE HOUR OF ADVERSITY.


Some setbacks are so severe that to give in to them means losing the whole ball game. When he assumed command of the Korean War, Gen. Matthew Ridgeway found his forces pushed far to the south, hard pressed by the invaders.

Only a determined decision to hold the lines allowed the American forces to keep from being swept into the sea and to eventually regain all the territory they had lost.

When a defeat strikes, you may not have the time to withdraw and contemplate your mistakes without risking further setbacks.

Don’t succumb to paralysis. It is important to know at that moment what it is you truly desire and to act to preserve your resources and your hope.

If you crumble utterly, you will take a blow to your self-esteem that will be hard to repair.

Instead, stick to your principles, and you will know, at the very least, that you have protected the most important thing you have. your successes in life will far outnumber your failures.
