Great story and great message.

The phrase "if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything" comes to mind. Taking a stand for something is what I think can keep us out of the drift or at least help us get back on course when we find we have unknowingly drifted. Being willing to take a stand in the face of resignation and cynicism is truly an act of courage.

Well said. Very applicable, especially in the organizational context.

Since courage parallels faith in many ways, for me it's being intentional about believing in what I, sometimes tangibly, cannot see and having the perseverance to see it through until it becomes seen to others. It's moving forward despite opposition because the dream is big enough to demand it.

On a more personal side…

Now, knowing what courage is and doing it are two totally separate things. It’s the application that counts. More courage for me would help me get out of my own way and remove the petty distractions that cause me to self-justify why I don't pursue certain things or speak up more when I should. More courage would help me default to what God wants versus what Daniel (me) wants. I like control. I like safety. I like a plan where I can plot out the next steps. God likes submission and trust. He likes it when courage overflows because of that trust and submission to Him. I’m just trying to work on that part more and more each day. :)

Great post. Very timely. Always a needed subject to hear and to serve as a reminder.

Mike, your post also brought to light Tom Ziglar's blog post below. It honors the passing of Amy Jones, a true hero of the faith but more importantly a 38 year old woman who was filled with passion and was courageous in every area of her life. Amy truly exemplified your six points above. In one word, relentless.

Anyone wanting to read, I promise, you will be inspired and it reinforces Mike's post on being courageous (and passionate) in every area of life. I was fortunate to know Amy and I learned a lot about life through her life.
