I modified this tube sock… (courage)

Ash Fox

Ash: You should probably put your bandit hat on now. Personally, I- I don’t have one, but I modified this tube sock.  (Fantastic Mr Fox, 2009)

If you feel ill-equiped, you are not alone.

I’m not sure that anyone really feels like they fit in.

Today, is a day to take courage. Modify your tube sock, and take on the big things that matter. No, you probably won’t look the part. But, that’s not what’s important.

What matters is using your talents and skills for the things you are passionate about, that also make your effort part of something bigger than you. If you’ve lost your passion, remember the lesson of the humble tube sock. It can be modified.

Remember too, that the “big things” won’t be the same for everyone…or maybe anyone. Give yourself permission to have your own “big things” (read: unique ideas). Courage and passion are inextricably linked.

What have you needed courage for lately?

Inspire us: What gives you courage?

Highly Recommended Viewing: Fantastic Mr. Fox
