Courage and Passion

It takes courage to follow your passions but ultimately it’s YOUR choice!

Cody McCasland is a boy who knows about courage and passion. When I watched the video about his life, I was bowled over. To say he is an inspiration is an understatement.

He was a premature baby born with a whole host of medical problems and not expected to live. Against all odds he survived, only to then have both his legs amputated. Now at age seven, Cody epitomizes courage, spirit, loving fierceness and the passion to help others through similar situations.

Passions arise from the heart. Living your passions restores a sense of balance and harmony. When you are truly passionate about something, you don’t have to try hard to put your attention on it. It’s fun. It’s engaging. It’s exciting. When challenges arise, they can’t deter you. They may slow you down for a while, but they can’t stop you. Never give up. Never let fear stand between you and your dreams. Never allow yourself to live a life of mediocrity. Not only does passion bring pleasure to you, it makes others want to be around you for the vicarious pleasure.

What if you had the courage to follow your passions? To not let fear get in the way? To forge ahead even if you don’t know how it’s going to turn out? Cody had no idea of what was in store for him but look how his life turned out… Cody on MSNBC
