Courage

Anne Lamott

Where did you find courage as a kid?

Well ... my parents were atheists. They were very avant garde. And I had this secret deep secret that I believed that if I asked for help in the dark, something heard me. I always had this secret belief that there was some kind of love energy that heard me. And then I heard eventually that courage is fear that has said its prayers. And so when I was a little bit afraid, I just prayed, help me, help me. And then I learned, you know, do it. I learned the motto, do it afraid. You know, you take the action and the insight follows.
