Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear. So many look to eradicate fear from their lives, when that is an impossible task.

The challenge is to go ahead regardless, simply notice the feeling and manage being courageous.
In this complex world, the best way to survive is to be genuine.
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
