"...courage is not always needed for big and dramatic events and experiences. Courage is needed for those every day events in our lives. It takes courage to say "I’m sorry” when you’ve wronged someone. It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone to try that something new. It takes courage to go in a different direction. It takes courage to be excellent in a mediocre world. It takes courage to think honestly about yourself. It takes courage to join a protest or a cause you believe in. It takes courage to take what you have set aside for yourself and give it to someone else with no strings attached.
God didn’t give us a spirit of fear. We’re given a spirit of power, love and self-discipline."*
--Rev. Dr. Vashti M. McKenzie, Preacher, Spiritual Leader, African Methodist Episcopal Church Leader, and Author
