PEACE: Courageous!

These new times call for us to be courageous. Sometimes we confuse the pursuit of courage with sabotaging our peace; embracing the idea that we can reduce frustration by going along with the status quo and “staying in our lane.”
But a silent voice can also perpetuate confusion — by giving the green light to bad behavior and injustice. Courage lies deep inside of all of us, and it does not have to translate into confrontation. You must face the fear inside of you at some point in your life, and redirect the negative in order to navigate the positive.
Take the front seat and drive. If you are troubled by the world around you, jump in and make change. Don’t be intimidated by blockers whose only concerns are positioning and notoriety.
Treasures can be found in the little things that you do to educate, stimulate, and motivate others to be courageous. Standing up — or, yes, taking a knee — can be a powerful tool that brings conscious resolve to otherwise misguided traditions.
Courage will clarify your purpose and bridge gaps of misunderstanding. A courageous heart will help you find the love that will ultimately bring peace to everything around you.
We are almost home — because our fear is gone.
