Courage to face the unknown. Nobody wants to be a coward. Value is a valuable trait, regardless of our origin or nationality. Many of us do everything possible so that others may think we are brave.
In the cartoons Popeye, who always has a can of spinach in one of his pockets, is an intelligent metaphor – that we can all penetrate deeply into ourselves to find the strength to overcome the fear we feel when we face our challenges, fears with risk, uncertainty and the unknown.
Courage is something we learn from experience. Films tell us that courage is an extraordinary and extreme action, in truth, many acts of courage happen far below the surface in places that only the heart knows. “You gain strength, courage, and confidence for every experience in which you really stop looking at fear in the face. You can say to yourself, “I have survived this horror and will be able to face whatever comes.” You must do what you think you are incapable of doing.”
- Courage to take responsibility
We have become a society that shirks the responsibility of our actions. We highlight many times by finger, file judgments, and we refuse to enter into meaningful discussions: I am right and you are wrong-end of the discussion! It’s everyone’s fault, but ours. When you avoid taking responsibility for your own actions, you are not showing courage. Courage means taking an opportunity. If you do not experience or show a little fear every day, you are not learning. And when you’re not learning, it’s done.
- Courage to make a change.
Staying in our comfort zone is not ideal, you say, but it is comfortable. You can work a week of 80 hours, have an unstable marriage, and a dead-end work and think wow, and you are still worried that a change will ruin your life? It takes courage to ask, “Is this all there is? Is there something else out there for me? “You can stay where you are because it is predictable and safe. Fear can be a great catalyst for value in your life. Do not give up, stop pretending that average is fine, admit that things are not perfect, and find the courage to make a change.
- Courage to stay the course.
For some, the courage to move forward means making a change. For others, it may take more courage not to run away from our circumstances or situations. If the road is stony but you are on the right path, you may have to stay on it. Keep your eyes on the goal, the goal, your idea.
- Courage to have faith
Life is not supposed to be easy. We are programmed for the fight. It is the reason why we need courage if we want to move forward in life. Just because you are not where you want to be today, this does not mean you will not be there someday. Brave people do not give up. They keep moving and trying. They make mistakes, but do not stop fighting. Barriers to life are not there to keep you out; they are there to give you the opportunity to show how much you want something. Have faith in yourself and develop a strong mind to break through the brick wall.
