Courage is not an entitlement, of origin;
It is not a donation, from a philanthropist.

Courage is not predisposed;
It requires detaching from the past.

Courage requires belief, in your potential;
Never accepting judgement.

Courage has no recipe;
Hoping, praying and saying you have it – does not mean it is true.

Courage is not in the crowd;
It is jumping off the bridge, before the rest do.

Courage means taking a risk;
Accepting any failures – knowing you will do it better the next time.

Courage means change;
Which brings challenges.

Courage means trying, again,
and again.

– L.J. Lenehan –

Allure of the new day,
Brings obligations of expectation.
Yesterday’s heartache dissipate,
Troubles alleviate.
Promises metamorphous to ambition,
Retribution brings fruition.
Sunrise provides belief,
In what can be achieved.

– L.J. Lenehan –
