Our 'Challenge and Courage' Understandings

What do the following challenge and courage quotes mean to you?

1.  "Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are."  (Bernice Reagon)

2.  "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do.  There can be no courage unless you're scared." (Edward Vernan Rickenbacker)

3.  "Challenge is like a dragon with a gift in its mouth.  Tame the dragon and the gift is yours."   (Noela Evans)

4.  "Courage is tiny pieces of fear all glued together." 

(Irisa Ha)

5.  "What is life, after all, but a challenge?  And what better challenge can there be than the one between the pitcher and the hitter."  (Warren Spahn)

6.  "Courage is knowing what not to fear." (Plato)

My Marathon Challenge

Last Sunday, I ran the Auckland Marathon.  It was my first marathon, and was an amazing experience. My sister, Deanne, travelled up from Taranaki to complete in her first half marathon.  The day was a special occasion for both of us.  It was wonderful to see her again.  Next challenge...the Kerikeri Half Marathon.
