"I believe courage is all too often mistakenly seen as the absence of fear. If you descend by rope from a cliff and are not fearful to some degree, you are either crazy or unaware. Courage is seeing your fear, in a realistic perspective, defining it, and choosing to function in spite of risks." Leonard Zunin

I think this year I am going to pretend to be the person I want to be until it becomes such a part of my nature that I will discover one day that I'm not pretending anymore. I wish to bid mediocrity goodbye and say hello to the woman that is the twinkle in God's eye. I think that is for now how I will practice courage.
