What is YOUR problem?


Today, a question was posed to people in the room. What is the cross that you bear?

In my head I was thinking of how I find a lot of people trivial. How I have a short attention span. How I easily get bored.

Then somebody raised their hand and began to tell a story of what he and his family was going through.

I felt stupid to think my problems mattered.

Potential + Courage = Virtue

Maya Angelou says: One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with  potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest  unless we are courageous first.
