We don’t always see what we need to do.  It is like taking a kite out in the middle of the storm.  Everyone will discourage you.  They will always tell you how they “failed” and how it is not a good idea.  Or they will tell you “their” formula for success.  It may not be the best decision, but you must consider everything.

That depends on who holds the string.  How tight is the string?  What is the length of the string?  How thick is the string?  (You get the idea).  The one who holds the string has choices to make.

Those choices alone will determine the “fate” of that kite.  Will it fly through the storm?  Or will it fizzle with the atmospheric pressure?  It depends.  How much courage does it take?

Yet, courage doesn’t usually stand alone.  It has friends called character, diligence, and integrity too.  Courage is that tenacious grip on the string, not letting loose of that kite – way up there!  Courage finds strength when there is none.  Courage says, “Yes.”  When the current trend is “No.”

Courage is the one thing that often goes without food and runs hungry, seeking a single crumb.  That is because most need some.  I am not talking about stupidity.  No.  I am talking more along the likes of bravery.  That kind of courage makes folks back up and say, “Wow.  I’d like some of that, please.”
