According to those statements, I have a lot of strength. Now, I need to find the courage to find my way.

In the right circumstances I have some courage. It's a start.

Courage of the heart is rare,
but those who find it, those who dare,
will find strength is not enough alone,
but courage takes to bring them home.
So stand your ground and be well armed,
when courage is with strength to guard
for in the darkness of the night,
courage will test strength's pure might.
A simple thought has but two points to see:
Where courage and strength take you and me.
It's not the wolf you see you should fear, but all the ones he howls with. Don't be afraid of the song, but don't piss off the choir.

I was reading an interesting book just before I packed it up to be shipped. It is about how Buddhism informs our search for self-awareness, especially in the process of counselling and psychotherapy. Not boring at all, despite my introduction! Hehe
One of the points it makes is that Western thinking tends to split into different pieces things that are really part of a whole, and which should be considered together.
For instance, it sometimes takes both strength and courage to develop our capacity for compassion. And for me, compassion is far more powerful than any strenth or courage I can muster in my life.
I hardly ever think of the Bible as a source of wisdom these days, for loads of reasons. But one little passage seems right on target..."When I was most weak, then I was most strong". Listening instead of asserting on own's view, not needing to win...being able to be vulnerable, being strong enough to really feel compassionate.
Just another thought.
