It takes courage to: 1

It takes courage to give up what you possess and to let go.

The very thought of securing and possessing something for ourselves come in to play in presence of insecurity.

Insecure people over possess excess quantity of stored inventory. Stored inventory could be food, money, gold or anything in relevant context.

It takes courage and fearlessness to give up on something to someone who might be in a much worse state and has a better need of the resource.

Shrada Dawar, from Madhya Pradesh sets a strong case study and a compelling reason for the first post on the series, It takes courage to. She's a differently abled person who's visual impaired and belongs to a tribal family and has cracked the exams and selection process and is now a probationary officer at Bank of India. That is not the achievement of her life. She went a step beyond that and met the collector and returned the 10,000 INR that she obtained previously to complete her education.

She says, she's got a job to be on her own and the money can now be useful for someone else. How many of us would possess that courage to give back and let go of something that we could actually retain with selfishness.

It indeed takes courage to do something like that.

Love,
