Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.

To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.

Fill your life with people who applaud your positive thoughts, feelings, and actions; who encourage you toward more and better; who know how to praise the good and beautiful.

Learn to forgive fully and completely. If you want health, wealth, and happiness, you can't afford the luxury of lugging around all those unforgiven, unforgotten past events. Let them go.

Acceptance is such an important commodity, some have called it "the first law of personal growth".

Heroes became heroes flaws and all gives us hope. "You mean I don't have to be perfect to fulfill my Dream, to make a contribution?" Hardly. It takes commitment, courage, and passion to live a dream and make a contribution. Heroes had these qualities along with their flaws.

Choosing what you want to do, and when to do it, is an act of creation.
