Courage shows up in different ways. The movie, “You’ve Got Mail”, is a romantic comedy centered around a big bookstore shutting down a little book store. There’s a conversation that happens over lunch between an older lady named Berdie, who works at the smaller store, and Kathleen, the younger owner of the store, whose mother owned it before her.
Berdie says, “Closing the store is the brave thing to do.”
Kathleen appreciates the comment but says, “You are such a liar, but thank you.”
Berdie, taken aback, says, “You are daring to imagine that you could have a different life. Oh, I know it doesn’t feel like that now. You feel like a big fat failure, but you’re not. You are marching into the unknown armed with nothing. Have a sandwich.”
Sometimes courage means letting go of what you’ve always had.
