“With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.”
– Keshavan Nair

My Thoughts:

I feel like climbing Mount Everest now just to feel great of the accomplishment. Most importantly, what I’m getting out of Keshavan Nair is to take risks. You will come through times when you will back away from many things. However, backing away won’t take you far in life. In fact, backing away will only make life harder, even though it seems like it’s making it easier. When you back away from something, it will always be in your mind of failure which will hunt you down. Later in life, you will look back in sorrow that you didn’t face it. This sorrow is worse than facing it.

Face It

Never take the time to think about backing away. No matter what challenge comes your way, go right through it. Don’t let failure be in your mind when success can be. Don’t live with “should have” and love your spouse with your full heart. Don’t run away from love, face it. Make your wife/husband feel the desire your heart has for them. I know most marriages are not love, but many are.

Dream

Don’t dream alone in life, dream with your partner of soul. When two people combine into one, they need to work together as one. This way they will succeed and reach higher in life. For those that are as if they are separate, then the result will be like that too. Have that dream lover, so you don’t have to dream alone. Just like Bobby Darin song, “Dream Lover,” be just like that.

Everything in life you can accomplish only if you work towards it. Don’t run away or hide from anything. Life is meant to be challenging with courage.
