"Courage is the most important of all virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently." -- Maya Angelou
Being courageous helps us to take the first step in seeking and making positive changes in our lives and the world around us.
Right now, take a first step and be courageous by educating yourself, protesting for change, donating to a non-profit organization, or even just listening.
A great movie to watch about the courage of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers and how they brought about change is Selma, directed by Ava Duvernay!
