Courage is Just an Anagram...






 "Courage is just an anagram for Happiness."

Julia Engelmann

In Germany, there is a video being passed around. A video of Julia Engelmann, a poetry slam and her words. And it is making people stop, and think, and be touched.

And the words that personally and most powerfully struck me...

"Courage is just an anagram for Happiness."

This is just a simple and rough translation of her message.

Do not let us only speak of staying up until the skies turn purple. Do not let us only speak of all the stories we could have written. Let us do the brave things, the crazy things. Let us have the courage to take off our masks, and see that underneath it all, we really are the same. Let us have the courage to look each other in the eye and to let someone know, just how much they really mean. Because one day we will be old. And one day there won't be enough time. And let us have courage. Because courage is just an anagram for happiness.

Thank you Julia.

I think we all needed that message. That little reminder.

Much Loves,

Angela.
