Courage

"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are"

E.E. Cummings

I saw this quote on a facebook friend's wall, and it really made me think this weekend. Growing up is one thing - already a challenging task as it is  - but growing up into "who you really are" is a different story entirely. This takes courage - courage to leave expectations behind, courage to make decisions and take risks, courage to sometimes walk a lonely path,  courage to figure out what you believe and why you believe it, courage to ask hard questions, courage to have difficult conversations, and courage to walk with conviction. And with that, may you have the courage you need to walk your path this week...
