Kechi Okwuchi: Profile In Courage

Profile In Courage

Perhaps the greatest challenge that you ever face in life is the conquest of fear and the development of the habit of courage. Winston Churchill once said, “Courage is rightly considered the foremost of virtues, for, upon it, all others depend. 
  
Fear is, and always has been, the greatest enemy of mankind. President Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” In life, we do remember how some good people have inspired us in many ways. Those people are not easily forgotten. Once you have that impetus, you can forge ahead without delay. You sometimes cry but you can smile after you resolve your issues or fear.

It gets to that stage where we truly need each other’s support since we cannot do it all alone. Yes, some people might be more fortunate than others, don’t allow that to discourage you from aspiring.  Leave circle of people who kill positive dreams. 

Kechi Okwuchi a plane crash survivor is a profile in courage.  

If you haven’t survived a plane crash, you might not understand the fear, God forbid that but we thank God for Kechi, a plane crash survivor, now America’s got talent number one. 

 You can get up from the mud and wash your clothes to be cleaner than snow. Your name can be written on the star if you search deep. Don’t give in when you are been mocked. If you find yourself abusing drugs or alcohol, purge it out and believe you are a new person with a bright life ahead.  Kechi’s scar is visible but because she believed in her dreams her voice covered her scars. 

When we develop the habit of courage and unshakeable faith and self-confidence, a whole new world of possibilities opens up to us.
