Courage Of Conviction
‘Yes versatility! One of many admirable qualities you possess, but your courage of conviction stands alone as a refined strength!’ Written by Paul Stead in an email to Peter G. James Sinclair
It is not my habit to share such intimate details with my readers, but I felt that the above statement could be something that could be of benefit to you. To receive such a comment from someone who had a profound impact on my life as a young man was both humbling and an honour.
In my mid-twenties my life’s direction took a major shift when my brand new wife and I opened our home to receive my cousin Paul’s family of five, which included three young children. To say that our life was turned upside down, or right side up as it were at the time, is an understatement.
To the horror of my close family we had done something totally unconventional and unthinkable. But at that time, my wife and I knew that it was the right thing to do.
It was during this period of my life that the ‘courage of conviction’ was firmly entrenched in my being.
