couRage oF being perfecT??

in youth, we try to equate courage with daring, violence or aggression..sum people grow up n pass thru dat stage..others dont..they remain juvenile delinquents throughout their lives..they r consumed by d need to prove dat they have worth thru besting others..dis is bcoz they simply dun feel , inside, dat they hv any value..ever feeling dat way???

for me, courage does not only involve when it comes to fighting battles or sum sort...its beyond dat..courage is when ur accepting urself..n people around u for who they r..courage is when making decisions dat might change ur life forever..

ive alwys have courage to show d world how great i am..or how i can do things better..its not like being cocky or craving credits or anything..its juz dat i wanted to prove dat im worthy..dat i could be a somebody they could depend on...i realize dat its not d case after all..i was so busy proving myself to others, pleading their so-called attention...dat i forgot who i really am..wats my limits n wat im capable of..then it strikes me...im aware dat maybe i wanted to be..i dunno..something dat i could never b...being perfect...

now i noe dat our goal shouldnt b to convince others how great we have been or how great we r now...im sure dat we all have things which we r proud of..all of us, at times in our lives, have fallen far short of perfection..being perfect is sumthing none of us will ever achieve..our goal should b to aspire towards perfection of character..courage can b a great tool for dis if not tainted by ego, selfish goals or self righteous pride..

none of us r perfect...all of us have things in our past dat we r proud of n things dat we arent...i certainly have things in my past dat i would have handled differently if given d chance to them over again..dont u??

d truth is dat we cant go back in time..but we can try each day by trying to b the best person dat we can, in all dat we do..we can each b a glowing example of, n demonstrate the honor n integrity often talked bout, but sumtimes not evident in life..im not talking bout besting others..im talking bout using each probs we encounter as a challenge to do better..im talking bout using each challenge as an opportunity to develop our personal level of character n integrity..for me, dis is where true courage is shown..
