Sisu

Sisu is a Finnish word meaning guts or courage. Sometimes you get knocked down and a punch comes out of nowhere to do it. That's what happened yesterday. You get yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. (Isn't that a song?) You reach down inside to summon the sisu. When you know the truth, nobody should be able to talk you out of it. You just keep the knowledge before you and you don't release control of your happiness to anyone else.
