Pain Nourishes Courage

No one likes to have horrible things happen to them but the courage to overcome is born from the ashes of adversity. What if everything in life was candy and sunshine. Well, first we would all be fat and sunburned, but that point aside, if everything was good, we would never have the courage to grow and mature. If you're going through bad times look for the light at the end of the tunnel. If you stop, you'll never get there, but if you keep going you will make it to that sunshine. Bring lots of suntan lotion with you though. As this is my first post to this blog I am sure I will be writing it largely to myself. I think it might be a little strange if I reply to my own post so if you stop by, say hi. Tell me something you have been through that made you a better person.

  1. Chuck,
    Thanks. If that's your first post, I think you're off to a great start. It sure stimulated a lot of thought for me. I've been living in that tunnel for the past three years when we moved to Laramie for my wife's work. But we're coming back to the sunshine of Fort Collins in the near future. Thanks for the blog. As soon as I get mine up and running I'll let you know. Meantime, I'm following you.

  4. Writing to yourself will open the door to writing to the world. All that is dwells within. Just having the courage to look there can help overcome any pain. Love of self is not selfish love, but sows the seeds to love of others.
