“Having courage means engaging in every single situation as a blessing from God, as a loving gesture of nature. Courage means rising to meet the demands of each moment with total delight, knowing you are equal to it. Courage means having faith that within you is an innate force whose essence is never deleted by external events. Live your life courageously, dharmically, knowing that whatever you are faced with is not stronger than you are, nor it is smaller. This approach is a dharmic way of living. This is a courage. You look at your problem as your equal, never greater or smaller. And therefore, you can rise to the demands of each moment. With great delight you are able to face and accept whatever comes your way.” From Sadhana of the Heart by Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
