To know that a choice will bring you life, and also bring you tears, and to choose it anyways - that is courage.

This is what I am learning from a particular couple of people in my life right now.   To choose pain in order to bring you closer to another, or loneliness to come closer to a dream.  Neither can be done without great strength, great love, and courage.  To know this will hurt, and decide it is worth it.

Believe me when I say that I've learned this lesson first hand. The right way is frequently the hardest way, but we do it because that's what is asked of us.

We can be grateful that we never have to walk it alone.
