Once upon a time I reach a great state, but I was disabled. It sucked.. Without fear there cannot be courage
Fear drives the unthinkable out of us

What gives you courage when there is none?
What gives you courage to get out of bed?
What gives you courage to drive when you know it's dangerous?
What gives you courage to succeed?
What gives you courage to survive?
What gives you courage to strive?

People have courage to live for their children
People have courage to live for themselves
People have courage to live for hope
People have courage because they believe
People have courage to not give up

Fear is not the essence of life
But a free soul not tamed

Courage is the journey of your heart
Guided by strength
On a path of untamed obstacles

Let courage guide you
As you begin your quest What is the journey to success?
Success is not gained by defeat
Success does not occur over night
Success can emerge at any age

Success is working to full potential
Success is courage
Success is lending a hand
Success is not listening to negativity
Success is being positive
Success is living your life instead of the life of others
Success is being proud
Success is overcoming obstacles
Success is striving
Success is listening to your heart

Most of all success is accepting
What you have accomplished Trust is earned
But once violated
It’s difficult to regain

When do you trust?
Who do you trust?

You trust with your mind
You trust with your heart
You trust with honor
You trust with pride
You trust with expectations
But is putting trust in someone worth it?

Tell me, is it?

I’ve tried to trust
But ended up with betrayal
And cannot allow it to occur again

I opened my mind
Opened my heart
But only received
A shattered heart
Now I know not to trust so easily

    Have you ever faced adversity? Adversity is everywhere in life but you can overcome it. Life has all sorts of hard spots but if you keep trying you will get out of those ruts of life. there is many different types of adversity such as trying and trying but failing at something over in over but you have to keep trying according to "The man in the arena" Theodore Roosevelt "who strives valiantly; who errs, who does actually strive to do good deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotion;who spend himself worthy of cause; who at the best knows in the end triumph of high achievements , and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" another example is in the poem by Langston Hughes mother to son "life for me ain't been no crystal stair its had tacks in it,and splinters,and boards torn up,and places with no carpet on the floor,bare. But all the time ,i'se been climbin' on....." you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul according to William Ernest Henley in the poem…

    Cause And Effect Essay: The Definition Of Success

    However, success is about working hard toward something and achieving a goal. Each and every person should set small goals for themselves on a regular basis. Setting small goals will then lead to setting even bigger goals since you know you can accomplish small ones. When those goals are met, in addition to being feeling elated, you will also feel better about yourself knowing you were successful in accomplishing a goal that you had previously set. Everybody’s definition of success is different, however, success can only be attained if you work hard toward it because nothing will ever come easy in…

    Courage Definition

    Mainly my religion. I am a catholic so my faith in God and his promises gives me strength and courage. My other sources for my strength are my sisters. I have five sisters and it is my responsibility to be courageous for them in order to keep them safe and teach them how to be strong and courages themselves. There is a bible verse I think of when I am in need of courage: “So be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will never fail you nor abandon you” ( Deuteronomy 31:6). Reading this scripture reminds me that I will never be alone and God will not give me an obstacle I cannot overcome. “You have to be strong for your sisters” is something I was always told growing up. Being the second oldest out of six daughters I had a lot of responsibility. One of those responsibilities was being strong for my sisters. As we faced difficulties and tragedies I had to be the one my sisters could lean on. I believe that is why most of my courage comes from God. Given that I do not have the closest bond with my parents, I only had trust in God as problems arise. As an older sister it is my duty to be able to compose myself and reassure my sisters that everything will be okay and nothing bad will happen to them. And at times I just wanted to vent all my feelings and emotions out but I had to be the one to deal with all the difficulties when no one else would. I have to be the refuge for my sisters. “But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). This verse inspires me to leap into acts of courage. Even if I have doubts about the action God will be by my side providing me with strength and will not leave me alone. I can only succeed when acting in courage. If I do nothing, nothing will change. If I take action, only positive…

    Personal Narrative: The Importance Of Diving

    For example, I have a learning disability called auditory processing. Auditory processing makes it difficult for me to process verbal instructions or even to filter out background noise. With auditory processing, I have learned to advocate for myself in the classroom, at diving and in the other areas of my life. I’m a go-getter and will not back down if an obstacle is in my way like the extremely difficult front three and a half dive. I credit this attitude of overcoming to the many challenges that I must rise above in order to become a successful national and international diver.…

    My Experience With Obstacles

    Everyone faces obstacles in life, it is simply the human condition; however, it is the way we face and conquer those obstacles in which they are given meaning. Through our journey in conquering these obstacles, we are able to strengthen ourselves and share our story to strengthen others. As the German-American author and poet Charles Bukowski once wrote, “what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.” That fire I had to walk through was anxiety. While anxiety most certainly had a negative impact on my life, it is through this experience in which new doors were and still are opening for me. My experience with anxiety helped me become the person that I am.…
