There will always be differences of opinions. When I set aside my desire to control and convince, I have an opportunity to learn and strengthen the bonds of a relationship. I don’t have to change my opinion, I may find much of value in another opinion. Working together is always better than working against.

Still strove with his last ounce of courage

🤗 A Better Life ~ Avoiding Chaos
Stop, think, consider possible outcomes, choose wisely, then act. Acting on impulse can be fun when spontaneously heading out for a weekend getaway (once COVID-19 disappears) or taking someone you love into your arms and dancing to the music playing on your app. Other times, impulse acting can create problems that spin out of control. Stop, think, consider possible outcomes, choose wisely, then act.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Courage
Courage
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
There is a courage, a majestic thing
That springs forth from the brow of pain, full-grown,
Minerva-like, and dares all dangers known,
And all the threatening future yet may bring;
Crowned with the helmet of great suffering;
Serene with that grand strength by martyrs shown,
When at the stake they die and make no moan,
And even as the flames leap up are heard to sing:
A courage so sublime and unafraid,
It wears its sorrows like a coat of mail;
And Fate, the archer, passes by dismayed,
Knowing his best barbed arrows needs must fail
To pierce a soul so armored and arrayed
That Death himself might look on it and quail.
