Courage

My lack of courage is my downfall. To succeed in any of my dreams I have to have the courage to take the first step.

I always tell myself that when the time comes I will step forward and make the decision.
I delude myself. I cannot wait for things to happen. I have to pray about it and then take the necessary steps.

We spend so much time waiting for the right moment that we miss the opportunity to make the right moment. There have been many times when the right moment did come but I shrank back and let it pass me by. I died inside everytime it happened. I watched my dream float past me down the river of life and I felt like I would drown.

I didn't though. Each day continued to follow the previous and my life went on.
All I can do now is pray for courage. Then maybe I won't have to wait for the next "right moment."
