I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.

To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favourite. I can read it again and again without feeling bored. I came across this yesterday and felt inspired by it.
Have you ever tried to begin something which you can anticipate the outcome, yet you still begin the journey? ~ I had ~
Have you ever had mixed feelings that caused confusions in your mind? ~ I had ~
Have you ever had a debate between your mind and your heart? ~ I had ~
I believe the above is very common to most of us. There are lots of times we have to face with such situations and sometimes we might feel exhausted. Recently, my heart is having a tough battle with my mind; whilst my heart is keen on something, my mind will try to hold back.
I'm not sure how long this battle has lasted but I must say I am reaching the 'exhausted' stage. I wonder why this happens. Why can't we just lead a normal life? However, life is no more interesting if it is mundane.
Before I begin this journey, my mind was simple. I know I am a curious person but all I want is just - answer. I have done few quizzes and most of them described me with one word ~ CURIOSITY. Lolx, yes ~ that's me all right!
My journey began with this word. Out of curiosity, I wanted to search for an answer. I found the answer and never thought of going into it as I could anticipate what the outcome would be, yet for some reasons, I chose to continue with the journey. To this stage, I can only say: Curiosity killed the cat!
Out of the blue, I have brought myself to this complicated situation; never had I thought that I would have the courage to do so but I did it. I am not sure if I will win, but I think I do agree with the author ~ You rarely win, but sometimes you do.
