Growing up I loved Willy Coyote. He was resourceful, resilient, intelligent, inventive, tenacious, and never gave up. The thing I remember about Bugs Bunny was that he didn't take guff from anyone. He knew when to poke his head out, to outsmart Porky Pig every time. These are two iconic totems that I grew up with and remembered when I saw Susan Bartel's painting Wascally Wabbit. It takes courage every time rabbit leaves her den to find food. And she is smart about it. She can out-run and out-dart many things, but her real super-power is courage. After all, there is no courage without fear.

When you need to summon the courage that is within you, put this music on a loop and roll the thought in your mind "I have all the courage I need for (fill in the blank)" or another variation that suits you better, and watch your life change in front of you! You can even mix and match the music here with mantras of your own making.
