Taking The "O" Out Of Courage

Taking the "O" out of Courage

Using the letter "O" from the word

courage took me a bit of time.

I had to submit to the C=Conquer so

many times in the past few weeks,

that I lost sight of almost everything
else....So, now, I am back...gaining
momentum & picking up where
I left off on my quest for courage
through the study of each letter that
makes up the word

COURAGE

O=One-Way

Yes, it is a hyphenated word, and

folks may wonder what in the world

One-Way has to do with courage,

but I feel that it best fit my take for

the letter O. In the dictionary,

One-Way means:

a. moving or allowing movement in one

direction only (such as a one-way street)

b. valid for travel in one direction only

(as in a one-way ticket)

c. not intended for return

(as in an object not intended to return

to the giver/seller/dealer)

I chose "ONE-WAY" instead of words

like overcome, optimism, opportunity,

because for me this year HAS TO BE

a "ONE-WAY" JOURNEY on the road

of learning to have courage.

I can't take the ground I've gained

thus far and "Return To Sender"

because that would give the enemy

of my very soul the victory.

The road to courage is indeed a

One-Way ticket & there is

no turning back at all if I am

to reach my destination called

courage...I must

stay on the One-Way street.

I've made the U-Turn that was

necessary to get me going back in

the right direction. Now that I am on

that "One-Way" Street to courage,

I cannot allow obstacles to stand

in my way...I must overcome them

one at a time. I must embrace

this new opportunity to become

more open with others...to not

become obscure & obsolete,

trying to hide myself when the

physical pain or heartbreak is just

too much to bear. Why???

Because in this world, just a small

word of encouragement or one act of

kindness has the ability to change the

outlook for someone going through

a hard time. It may be someone I do

not even know. So by coming out in

the open to share my "One-Way"

journey to find courage, it is my

hope & prayer to reach out &

touch the lives of others...that they,

too, may find hope, healing, and

help in the time of need.
