The bottom line:

We have all experienced moments when we are forced into the corner of difficulties. Options seem to be limited, events seem to be a matter of chance rather than choice. How can we overcome this?

"Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others."
Winston Churchill

Remember no one is born with courage. It is a decision to dig deep into our character, look for the strength to ask for help from the right people. Leave a hostile work place, release oneself from someone who is mentally or physically bullying you. Or for reasons only known to oneself to stay in the difficult situation patiently waiting for a good and acceptable moment of release. It takes courage to believe in ones gift and be creative. To find something positive everyday requires that we practice courage. To scaffold this, the starting point is to appreciate things that money can never buy.

I think that the late Michael Jackson was courageous. Maybe that was the reason why there was a huge following at his funeral.

Below is a tribute I found on You Tube created by Sir Piers Music:



Even better, who remembers the film: "Get on the bus" by Spike Lee about the Million Man March to Washington. I went to the cinema and saw this movie in 1996. Michael Jackson contributed a song to this movie, words written by Babyface which sums up the word Courage.



I am going to add one more song. I had never heard of Kirk Franklin until I saw this movie. I am telling you as a young black male just finishing University, the whole film was quite influential.
