Situations demand it.

Think about the snake study I told you about where it took weeks and weeks for these kids to slowly overcome and understand their fear of snakes and slowly then try to turn that into an acceptable situation.

So courage shows its face in all corners of life.

I interviewed a dear friend of mine who just unfortunately passed away of cancer.

And I interviewed her to just, this is about a year and a half ago.

And she was a healthy, young, athletic woman who had a cough that wouldn't go away.

And then she eventually went to see her physician who said, let's do an x-ray.

And they found a tumor in her lungs.

And this thing then snowballed into a whole set of things.

And she was amazing.

You know, we don't use the word courage for people like that.
