QSource 3.12 – Courage: Setting Aside Fear To Turn Hardship Into Grace
f3nation.com/q/courage/
Here are some of the things that stuck out to me from this week’s QSource content:
– To give over completely to one’s instinct to avoid danger, regardless of the consequences, is the opposite of courage.
– Courage begins with the recognition that while peace should always be our goal, there are some threats that confront the Community that simply must be fought.
– (talking about the Jester) He is a master corrupter, who hollows out a man’s vitality from the inside, leaving him too exhausted to overcome hardship.
– The virtuous leader intentionally exposes himself to expected hardships in order to build the durability he will need to overcome the unexpected hardships that await him so that he can turn them into grace.

COT:
October is spelled similarly to Octopus. Googling one can take you down the curiosity path of the other. Sy Montgomery is an naturalist who tends to speak on Octopus. The octopus is really cool creature. And October 8th is World Octopus Day! Not national but world. So, it’s a big deal and kind of fits in the whole October original thought process.
Anyways, Sy has this quote: “I think all animals have souls. I feel certain that if we have souls, octopuses have souls, too. If you grant something a soul, it demands a certain level of sacredness. Look around us. The world is holy. It is full of souls.”
The move to fall/October has me thinking about holidays/football/Cubs playoffs/etc. And because of the constant interaction with my father and family while dealing with my father’s skin cancer and congestive heart failure, football is a popular topic. And my family is upset with the Chicago Bears. Cubs too. At first I believed that stress and non football issues played a roll in my anger and frustration towards my favorite franchise. But then I realized that I’ve always been like this. Not sure why? However, the thought expressed above by Sy helps. Remember, that those that anger you or disappoint you to a point of fury or action (throwing a remote, for example) have souls. Are part of a holy world. For me, this simple thought lessons my emotional extreme. It may help you too.
