Courage is not the absence of fear. It is learning how to do the right thing in the face of fear.
Courage is the ability to do something that is difficult or dangerous. There are different types of
courage: Moral courage, emotional courage, empathic courage, to mention a few. Moral
courage is to stand up for one’s belief’s in the face of overwhelming opposition. Emotional
courage is your ability to put your ego on the line in the face of fear, in relating to threats to your
comfortable beliefs, habits and past conditioning. It’s a willingness to step into the realm of
facing your own vulnerabilities and understanding yourself better. There are many more types of
courage that you will face in your life time. You may need courage to simply talk to someone, or
to take action when it may not be popular. Take a look at your life and those around you and see
when and how they applied courage. Then be ready to apply it in your life! Remember: courage
also includes restraint, one does not need courage to punch someone. It may mean you have the
courage to walk away. The question is just how do I do this?
