Courage

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.  ~Mark Twain

Hey that Mark Twain fella was a pretty smart guy.  

Fear (anxiety) is a normal human response to huge change.

Courage is what helps us through it.

Support is what helps us find our courage.

And doing the things of which we are afraid shows us we CAN!

So true.  Just like the cowardly lion on The Wizard of Oz.

I have heard so many quotes attributed to Mark Twain...he was seriously an amazing person.  I just tried to look up the one "It's easy to quit smoking, I've done it..."  It seems to be attributed to WC Fields related to drinking and others...apparently, he said something similar but not exactly this quote.  

I think quitting smoking is the most empowering thing I have ever done in my life.

I remember watching WC Fields when I was a kid.  He had a drinking problem.  I seem to think that Twain said, "It's easy to quit smoking - I've done it a thousand times myself."  It could have been Fields.  Fields did not like kids, and he would come out with some real good funnies about them.

Quitting smoking is the most empowering for sure!
