What is courage? “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.” – Ambrose Redmoon.
That idea was even expressed more forcefully by John Wayne: “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway” (personal note: there is a border between courage and recklessness – that might be the saddle part).
The most important question remains – what is the use of being courageous? Anais Nin gives us the answer: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage“. We need to be courageous to expand our lives and reach out to our wants, beyond our comfort zone.
Courage in life is not an option. Yes, we are all scared. Still, what about saddling up, right now?
