Leaping into Courage Rob Inrig

Courage is walking up to the wall of fear and, once hitting its surface, taking one more step. The wall would have you believe that it is solidly built with no way over and no way around. But if you don't take that step, the wall is as real as if it were made of stone. But courage takes that step. ? It moves forward despite the wrongs that have been done. ? It acts, not allowing setbacks to define what will be. ? It chooses to leap into places where others won't go. Leaping Into Courage considers the subject of courage in areas that affect us all. How do you courageously take the next step after failure or setback? How do you choose the picture you wish to define you and not allow others to choose that picture for you? How do you stand when others want you to fall? The author encourages us that we all have our personal courage choices to make, suggesting that: Courage is like a muscle. The more we exercise it, the stronger it gets. That muscle is intended for action. Your action. So leap into courage so that others will follow. Leaping Into Courage is intended to provide insight, understanding and strategies so parents, teachers, and individuals can incorporate courage more fully into their own lives. But personal gain isn't the end point. As the circles of courage extend, others are inspired to believe more and do more. May your courage be exercised and grow strong. May you discover places of courage where you have not looked and take possession of courage you have left unclaimed. And as you do, pass that courage along!
