"Opening your heart to embrace the person or situation that pains you could be one of the most life-transforming experiences you’ll ever have. It can also be one of the most courageous, for love takes courage and it takes will. Love takes courage because it forces us into unknown territory. Mark Prophet used to define courage as "coeur-age"--the coming of age of the heart (coeur in French). Courage is the development of the love and wisdom of the heart that emboldens us to take the action that is right, honorable and necessary, even if it is temporarily uncomfortable."
from the book "Alchemy of the Heart: How to Give and Receive More Love" by Elizabeth Clare Prophet
