Christopher Reeve Lived in Courage

I was thinking of Christopher Reeve’s today. What a powerful peaceful soul. A Role Model. My birthday is this month. I was born the same year as Christopher in 1952. As many of you know, he passed on October 10th 2004. He would be 56 this year. He is greatly missed around the world.

I am so grateful for my life. Each year that passes brings more joy, with life unfolding in the most miraculous ways. Superman could fly and sometimes I feel as if I can too. Christopher Reeve’s knew how to fly in the face of fear, with great courage. Few people have the strength to live with such grace in the appearance of such a challenge. There is no doubt that some days were much harder to face than others, but he rose to the occasion, setting himself as a example to the world. To live in freedom, no matter what seems to be an obstacle is a gift of courage we each own. Thank you Christopher and your family for being such an inspiration to all of us. May we all follow your lead and live in COURAGE.

Name: Christopher Reeve

Born: September 25, 1952 in New York, New York

Courage Defined by Debra Oakland

Today I was thinking about Courage. Huge subject, but this is what came to me while mulling it over.

Courage is the will to act upon the strength and power within the Heart. Courage is not something you can have, it is something you become. To live a courageous life takes place in a person when they allow the true essence of who they are to rise up and shine for all the world to see. Fearless of opinion. Those courageous individuals who are true to themselves feel a powerful resolve that is unshakable. A true conviction of purpose to carry on in the face of any challenge. To stand in power of purpose is a pure point of courage, available to everyone who cares to utilize it in their life. The unfoldment brings forward the power alive within. This point of power has been diminished greatly and when awakened can shatter the fear of moving forward toward the intention or goal. Greatness arises from mediocrity. One or more lives are altered as awareness shifts to possibility and progress. Great is the union of courage and honor - a great gift within the heart of every human soul.
