Really enjoyed your musings on this topic, one dear to my heart. I like this idea, “Courage is fear that has said its prayers” (Dorothy Bernard). You mention the lion taking action even when he’s afraid. In a way, courage is a leap of faith. If one takes action with confidence and no fear, it doesn’t really require courage. Only when a task is difficult from a mental, spiritual, emotional perspective, do we need to draw on those inner reserves, what I’ve heard called “sustained effort,” to stand and fight for something we belief in despite resistance or confrontation or danger.

After that it’s a case of making sure you go after it time and again, it may be that no one else ever sees it – but so what?

Also, just wanted to let you know, the following paragraph is duplicated:

I’m sure you don’t want to go on a trip with as many twists and turns as that legendary journey in order to find your courage (or heart, or whatever else it is you are looking for). So is there another way to find your courage?

A lovely post about a remarkable children’s tale reminding us that we all have the courage; it’s just a case of finding it.

I’ve recently watch the original, with our 4 year old grand daughters, for the first time since I saw it when it was released. Stil just a smagical.

Thanks for sharing.
