“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ―Nelson Mandela
What fear in your life is presenting you with the opportunity for courage?
As I am aging, I am confronted with physical changes that I can’t handle sometimes. Even though I think that we have advances in medicines and advice on living a long, full life, I know that there is a limit. It takes courage to become old, or even older. I learned that people over 85 are considered the “oldest” according to the US Census. However, balancing these changes with the fact that I am still having opportunities to enjoy life is a comfort.
