When you think of the word courage, generally certain images jump to the forefront of your mind that define that word for you: soldiers most often, people standing up for what they believe in, sacrifice, doing something no one else has, and the list goes on. A lot of the time when people think courage, they think about big events, big people who define that word for them. But what about those smaller events, those ordinary people? Courage isn't always big, sometimes its small. The quote in the picture above is one of my favorites because it shows that courage doesn't have to be big for it to make a difference. In fact, I've found most often that courage is fairly small, small but powerful. Courage, to me, is a voice, that little voice that whispers that you can do it, that encourages you to step outside of your comfort zone, to do great things. But its something that you have to listen for because it can be so small. It can be easy to ignore, to push back and to give into fear and doubt.
