It Takes Courage to Have Courage

It takes courage to start again and build your world from nothing, when you have lost it all, looked right in the face of death and watched your family members fade away one by one. All you have to work with now are dead things. It takes faith to keep believing and to trust again, when all you want to do is find a corner somewhere and just live out your days.
When everything is upside down and out of order, these are our life-changing moments. If everything was good, we would not make moves. When life is perfect, why change anything? Usually, it starts by an unseen incoming situation. For many, it starts with a dismissal from their job and because money is needed to function in this world, is everything is taken away?
So, how do you work with what you have left? How can you forget the past, live in the present, and desire a future after all the pain? How do you push past the pain and press forward?
You must go back to the beginning and learn from The Creator of Creation. You must start with a vision of what you will do or where you will go from here. You can do it because your Father did it, and He put Himself inside of you. You must look inside of yourself, find your dream in the darkness and bring it outside to the light. He started His world with darkness too, and He remembered what it could be. Don't lose your courage to start again. Follow the Leader. He won't fail you.
