Burnt Out

It’s extremely beneficial to remind ourselves now and again to live courageously. “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage,” (Anaïs Nin) Your ability to do something that is right or good, even if it’s hard, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable, even if it scares you, will bring more to your life. “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” (John Wayne) But saddling up, that courage within, is not always, in fact it’s very rarely an action movie sequence where the hero defeats an enemy with poise and strength and everyone is left in awe of such a magnificent defeat. That would be pretty cool though. I like to visualize my inner victories in that manner sometimes. The truth is that “Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow’.” (Mary Anne Radmacher) At the end of the day, if you’re willing to try again, even when you feel like giving up, even when you’re burnt out, especially when you’re burnt out
