“I asked for strength, and I received challenges to make me strong. I asked for wisdom, and I received problems to solve. I asked for prosperity, and I received skill and ability to work. I asked for courage, and I received danger to overcome. In the end... I received nothing that I wanted, and everything that I needed”

It's as simple and as difficult as that. "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." -- Ambrose Redmoon”

"Some things are frightening, and only a fool wouldn't be afraid of them." He scratched the back of his head. The girl wondered if he was thinking about the charity men, too.
