Life is like a river of unknown depths, the farther you go into it, the more you discover the depths, the more you realize that current of the waves, and other intricacies of it, but if you must go far on this necessary but difficult journey of life, you need a lot of strength, courage, and bravery. You can not face the heavy tides with a faint heart, and weak a mind.

When all you have gone through, and all you have experienced are the good and wonderful things of life; when all you know is the goodness and support of those around you, and you have not been threatened by families, or betrayed by friends, you can not talk about bravery. When you haven't tasted the bitter side of life, the lessons necessary for boldness and strength is far from you.

St. Catherine of Siena of once, "To a brave man, good and bad luck are like his left and right hand. He uses both." you must be able to maximize every opportunity that comes your way, good or evil to your growth and better self. The good times, gives you growth and progress, while the bad times teach you lessons, and shows you the true realities of life.

Until you are ready to forget the comfort you now enjoy; until you are ready to take new risks and swim for shores unknown, you may not achieve your purpose, dreams, and aspirations. It takes courage to grow up, and be ready to be responsible for what is ahead of you. Like Steve Jobs "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." Without courage dreams may not see the light of day.
