Unpredictable Ally: Courage That Endures

"Do not fear death. The best part of you will live on!" This offers a powerful perspective on mortality, suggesting that our true essence transcends our physical form. What endures is the impact we have, the love we share, the very best of who we are.

And yet, navigating the moments leading up to that eventuality, and indeed all of life's challenges, often requires courage. It's a quality that can feel elusive, arriving in unexpected bursts. As you said, "I find courage unpredictable. It's total insanity you can rely on!"

There's a profound truth in that seeming contradiction. Courage isn't a constant tap we can turn on at will. It often flares up in moments of necessity, sometimes defying logic or our own expectations. It can feel like an irrational surge of strength, yet in that very unpredictability lies its reliability. When true courage ignites, it possesses an almost insane power to push us beyond our perceived limitations.

Perhaps the comfort in knowing that our best part lives on can, in some way, fuel those unpredictable moments of courage. Knowing that what truly matters about us is enduring might embolden us to face our fears, to stand up for what we believe in, and to navigate life's uncertainties with a touch more of that "insane" yet dependable bravery.

What unpredictable moments of courage have you witnessed or experienced, and how did that "insanity" prove reliable?
