This is the moment for which you have been Created

My colleague Robin Vannoy with a sign she keeps on her desk.

 Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created. Esther 4:14.  

Here are a variety of translations of this passage.  The context is a little less uplifting.  The quotation can be seen as being courageous... but it could be more general than that. It could be a recognition, at all times, to be awake and alive and courageous in experiencing life unafraid.

I also came across this To Kill a Mockingbird quote (Atticus to Jem)

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
