Face It, Defeat It, Survive It

You cannot have courage

Until you face fear

You cannot have confidence

Until you defeat doubt

You cannot have happiness

Until you survive sorrow

I can't believe that I am the first to review this! And after so many views too. Damn. These three truths that you have given us are so extremely relative to everyone.

"You cannot have courage
Until you face fear"

This is undoubtedly true. Complacency is married to fear and courage is their vibrant marriage counselor.

"You cannot have confidence
Until you defeat doubt"

Again, embedded truth. Doubt is a disease that enters our minds. Once we understand that we CAN, then confidence becomes the dominant voice in our heads.

"You cannot have happiness
Until you survive sorrow"

Now these lines hit me in the gut because I am a living example of its truth. I won't go into details, but the reality of this statement haunts me. Well done, dear.

Thanks for the great review there. So glad you enjoyed it and that it touched you (well, hit you in the gut).

I changed the title, btw (not that that makes much difference, but I think it links the ideas sequentially .. face things, defeat them, and survive)

[R. L. Hill]

I like the title much much better ^^

[Rogie-Dodge]

:D .. often that's the hardest thing to write.

That;s for sure
