Pause to reflect that others have had to face great discouragements and great obstacles and have overcome them. And what others have done, surely you can do. Remember that your life forces move in a sort of rhythm and that if you feel depressed and without the power to face life you may be at the bottom of the trough. If you will keep up your courage, you will probably swing out of it by the very forces which at the moment are sucking you down. Remember you feel more defeated and downcast at night than during the daylight hours.
Courage comes with the sun.
Courage is the measure of a big soul. Try to measure up. We can all edure disaster and tragedy, and triumph over them - if we have to. We may not think we can, but we have surprisingly strong inner resources that will see us through if we will only make use of them. We are stronger than we think When you're afraid, keep your mind on what you have to do.
