The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's so true, we seek comfort and peace but we truly find ourselves when we are in the middle of a most difficult situation, physically, emotionally or spiritually.
It is good to leave our comfort zone if only for a little while, to reach out to dare.
In doing so we find out what truly matters most, our self!  We learn to rely on no one, we become one with ourself...
