The power of courage

Here is today's fresh motivation message, enjoy it

-------------------------------------------------

An amazing thing happened some years ago when there was an earthquake that killed over 30,000 people in less than 4 minutes.

A most loving and courageous father in the midst of this, was able to save his sons and other kids through sheer courage.

When other people thought it was impossible to save anyone from the debris, he courageously stood his ground. When this loving father got to the school where he had walked his son in the morning, he was shocked to see everywhere in ruins.

There and then, he decided not to give up on his son. He remembered the level of confidence that his son had come to have in his ability to always be there for him. He even remembered that he told his son that fateful day that he would always be there for him.

This decision prompted him to dig for his son in the pile of debris. Having made up his mind not to give up until he found his son, he dug on. In the face of stiff oppositions from other parents who had also come to pick their children, he persevered.

Policemen and firemen who knew more than this loving father about such situations also encouraged him to give up digging for his son. With such determination and unbending courage he kept on digging, stone after stone for hours on end-8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours – He kept on digging.

But then in the 38th hour, his courage and determination paid off. He heard his son’s voice shouting out to him, having enough confidence in his father to know that he would come to get him out.

In this confidence, the young boy had motivated 14 other kids not to give up because his father was coming to get them out and that he did. He braved the worst to save not only his son but 14 other kids.

This is a story of great courage. I want to encourage you today not to give up. It does not matter what the odds are against you, take courage and don’t give up.

Be bold and take hold of your destiny, it is in your own hands. Let me also assure you that even as doubts and discouragements constantly attack your mind with the aim of stealing your destiny, great courage is available for you.

As you go out this day, walk tall with your heads high.
