God Given Daisies — by
Courage
Many of our readers know I am currently involved
in trying to open a museum that honors all heroes. I personally represent "The Colonel
Charles Waterhouse Historical/Art Museum."
The "Colonel," as he is affectionately
known as, has painted and sculptured military heroes from the Revolutionary War
days till today. He is in his 80's and is currently working on portraits of
Medal of Honor recipients and the deeds that won them the honor.
As we approach different entities to join forces
in getting this museum open, I am continually made aware of the courage it took
to make these individuals "Heroes."
Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous quote "A
hero is no braver than an ordinary person, but he is braver
"Courage is grace under pressure."
— Ernest Hemmingway
There are heroes wherever we look, whenever we
look. Yet many of us do not recognize or acknowledge them. And as Dale Carnegie
said, "Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we
possessed."
In everyday
life it takes courage. Not the same as in the battlefield, or facing a fire or
flood, but courage to be the best we can be...
Courage to stand up for what is right.
Courage to always speak the
truth.
Courage to lead a moral and
ethical life.
Courage to respect all others
and allow them to have the same intrinsic, basic rights.
Courage to stand up for your
beliefs.
Courage to do what you were put on this earth to
do.
Courage to be all that God intends you to be...and
you too will be a Hero in someone's life
