Successful people are not looking for miracles or easy tasks. They seek courage and
strength to overcome obstacles. They look at what is left rather than what is lost. Wishes
don't come true; beliefs and expectations supported by conviction do. Prayers are only
answered when they are supported with courageous action. It is courage and character
that is the deadly combination for success. This is the difference between the ordinary
and the extraordinary.
When our minds are filled with courage we forget our fears and overcome obstacles.
Courage is not absence of fear but the overcoming of fear. Character (justice and
integrity) without courage is ineffective, whereas courage without character is oppression.
