“We need the courage to START and CONTINUE what we should do, and the courage to STOP what we shouldn’t do.”

By: Richard L. Evans

As humans we tend to be really busy all the time. At least people like employed adults and students. We usually use our busy schedules as an excuse for not working out, eating right, or just spending time doing recreational activities. Richard L. Evans tell us that all we need is courage. If we have courage then there is really nothing that we can’t do. If we have our minds set to something we are going to do it. It we feel discouraged we will fall into our old or even worse ways. That too needs courage to prevent. Not only do we need the courage to keep doing good for ourselves but to keep from doing bad. I believe this because it takes a strong person to keep themselves on the right track because it’s not easy. It sure is easy to give up but that is why we need the courage to stop. An example is eating healthy. It is hard to eat healthy because things like pizza and cake are so tempting. We need the courage to start eating healthy. Not only is courage needed to start but to continue. What is the whole point of starting if you are not going to continue. Lastly, courage is needed most to stop from eating junk food because we shouldn’t do so. Even though I fully agree with Richard I can not be committed. I have tried to keep from things that aren’t good for me like showering in the mornings, eating late, or procrastinating.
