This is on the Blog part of Psych Central today:

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” –Mary Anne Radmacher

This has been a hard lesson for me to learn. That is, I always felt if I was weak and got defeated it meant I had no courage. That's what I was taught -- failure was a moral disaster. It's taking a long time to think that maybe I can come back from defeats. Even very big ones.
