Patience and fortitude conquer all things.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn
fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.
~ William Faulkner

Fortitude is strength & grace, courage & dedication.

The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance (fortitude), by signs and wonders and miracles. ~ 12 Corinthians 12


Perfect wisdom has four parts, viz., wisdom, the principle of doing things aright; justice, the principle of doing things equally in public and private; fortitude, the principle of not flying danger, but meeting it; and temperance, the principle of subduing desires and living moderately. ~Plato

Practice Fortitude!
First, get quiet & think of all the ways
you practice fortitude now:

What are you commited to?

What have you stayed with for a long time?

Have you ever had noble courage?

Have you ever faced fear or pain bravely?

Now ask yourself, "What are all the ways
I can practice more fortitude now?":
What can I commit to?
Where & how might I need/use noble courage?
Release, let go & know that your fortitude will grow!
