This statement is very true. To me, this quote explains that everything that happens to you happens for a reason. Everything
good that happens to you, along with everything bad that happens to you, was meant to happen to you for a reason. This quote
is a quote on courage because it takes a lot of it to go on with life, and to accept the good along with the bad. The people
who stay in the past and weep about everything they have gone through are cowards. They are too afraid to go on with life,
afraid of what might happen to them next.
Courage to me is going on with life, no matter what it throws at you. For instance, I grew up with an abusive brother.
I thank God for that every day. It took me long enough, but I took the step forward to live with it, and because I did, I
can help other people who go through abuse. I can let them know how I dealt with things, and that is something much bigger
and better. The pride I have knowing I can and do help other people, helps me deal with my past. If I had the chance to
change the past, I wouldn't even have to think about the answer; no I would not.
I was abused for a reason, and because I was, others can come to me. If I had never gone through all of the abuse I
went through, I can honestly say, I could not have talked two of my friends out of suicide, nor would I have known to tell
their parents about any of it. My two friends get counseling. I believe that what I did to help my friends took a lot of
courage, because they asked me not to tell their parents. I took the chance of losing two very close friends as friends,
by telling their parents. To me though, risking the chance of losing the friends you love as friends is better than to risk
losing them from the world. I am helping my friend's niece because she was recently molested, and she feels she can not go
on with life. I can, and do, do all of this because I know what it is like to go through all of those certain topics. All
together, this is what courage means to me in my life
