Courage (2)

"You will never do anything in this world
without courage.
It is the greatest quality of the mind
next to honour."
~{Aristotle}~

Some very brave people suffer from feeling very uncourageous. They labour under the false assumption that courage requires no fear. Quite the contrary, fear is the single most important ingredient in courage.

Without fear there cannot be courage. Courage is the act of overcoming one’s fears.

We all have fears. We can all be courageous. Challenge your fears to a dual today… they aren’t half as brave as you are.

Courage

It takes fear to produce courage. The "brave" knight who charges off on his trusty steed to smite the dragon, thinking not of danger is hardly very courageous.

The terrified messenger who brings the dragon an invitation to dual the "brave" knight, shows much more courage.

What makes somebody courageous?

It is how we deal with fear. It is OK to feel fear. Everybody does.

You can show courage by doing what you know you should do in spite of your fear.

But it doesn't mean you need to be as stupid as the penguin...
