Courage

Courage is defined as “Courage, also known as bravery, will and fortitude, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. …”

Everyday I travel around with Gabriella Holt, the woman with whom I am now working. She exhibits courage everyday simply by standing tall in the face of criticism, standing up to her male counterparts who visibly treat her differently and with less respect than their male counterparts, for her determination to stand up for her beliefs everyday even to the many naysayers who don’t think she has a chance and to her opposition who think they will prevail…Gabriella has more courage than I and thank God that she does.

Also in the photo below next to Gabriella is a man who was in prison with John McCain in Vietnam and who told us stories of how they survived years of torture. These were men with true courage, courage of their convictions for the country they so loved – how can a man like that not be a great leader of our country?
